April 21. Christ's Resurrection

Thank thee, heavenly Father, that on this joyful day, Christ rose again triumphant from the grave, having overcome death, and opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers. May my soul not remain dead in trespasses and sins. quicken me, by thy Holy Spirit, to a new and spiritual existence. Raise me from the death of sin, unto a life of righteousness. I pray that I may rise with Christ above this world of sin and sorrow; seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth at the right hand of God; and set my affections on things above, not on things on the earth, for Christ Jesus' sake. Amen.
