Lent 2025 School of Prayer 35

Day 35: Prayer and Resurrection Hope

“I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die.” — John 11:25

Prayer is not just about the struggles of today—it is rooted in the hope of resurrection. As we approach Easter, we remember that Jesus’ death was not the end of the story. He rose again, conquering sin and death, and in Him, we have the promise of new life.

When we pray, we do so with hope, not despair. No matter what we face—suffering, loss, or uncertainty—we pray as people of the resurrection. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is at work in our lives today. Every hardship we endure is not the final word; God is making all things new.

Today, let your prayer be one of resurrection hope. If you are struggling, bring your burdens to God, but do so in faith, trusting that He brings life from death, joy from sorrow, and light from darkness.

Reflection: How does the resurrection shape the way you pray? What area of your life needs to be renewed by God’s power? Pray today with confidence in the hope of Christ’s victory.

Fasting & Giving: Fast from ignoring the poor. Acknowledge and greet the homeless with dignity.
