Wandering Heart April 6 Easter Week - He is Risen!

Permission from @sanctifiedart

April 6, 2024 • Luke 24:1–12, 1 Corinthians 15:1–11

We hope you had a Blessed Easter and are enjoying Easter Week. Here is today's devotional. Take a few minutes each day to spend time with God in reflection and prayer for Lent as part of our Wandering Heart: Figuring out Faith with Peter series.


Theme: And I Hope


Centering practice - Center yourself in darkness and light. Light a candle. Honor the darkness and see how the light shines.


Question - Where are you experiencing new life? Where are you beginning again?


Prayer - God of new beginnings, new life finds me like warm weather finds the spring. Once again I am reminded that death does not have the last word. Once again I am reminded that love is stronger than hate. So give me the wisdom to begin again. Show me the places of new growth in my heart. Show me where you have already planted seeds for change, for centering, for conviction. And may I be wise enough to begin again, and again, and again. Amen.

Create a list of 10 things that you are grateful for Question - What have you learned from Peter’s journey of faith?  Prayer - Jesus of Nazareth, thank you for calling ordinary people to be your disciples. Peter was a mix of belief and unbelief, always trying to follow in your footsteps without tripping on his own two feet. So often I feel the same. Peter’s story is my story. Peter’s journey is my journey. So thank you again for showing us that kingdom work can happen with ordinary human hands. I believe. Help my unbelief.
