These 5 short poetic prayers reflect on themes of new life & resurrection in a way that feels personal and intimate. Honest and pure, they imagine what new life truly feels like—for us and for God. We hope you might adapt them for worship or print them as they are for members in your community to read and return to throughout Eastertide.

“God,” I asked, quietly. “After you died, why did you come back?”

“Oh, my child,” God answered.
“Why does the moon return to a dark sky, night after night?”

“Gravity,” I responded, assuming I knew everything. . . 

—Excerpt from "Night After Night"

You rose from the dead.
You rose from the dead, so morning after morning I will rise from my bed
with the hope of loving bigger than the day before,
for the dawn feels more precious in the days after Easter. Doesn’t it?

—Excerpt from "Dawn."

For if your lungs are a garden, then your breath is new life.
And if your breath is life, then I beg you, make my soul Easter. . . 

—Excerpt from "Paint My Scars with Flowers"
