Easter Prayer for the Cavanaugh Clan

Father God, we want to thank you for sending Your son Jesus to live among us.  To teach us how to love and care for each other.  Today we especially want to thank You for sacrificing Your son to give us the hope of eternal life. 

We thank You for this family around these tables,

We thank You for our health in mind and body,

We thank You for Your love and mercy to each of us,

And we thank You for the relationships we have with each other:

            Between moms and dads

            Between brothers and sisters

Between husbands and wives

Between parents and children

Between grandparents and grandkids

Between nieces and nephews

Between cousins, aunts, and uncles.

Yes, we are all connected.  We are placed in this family, at this time in history to learn to love, to glorify Your name, and to make a difference in this world.

Bless each of us with health, strength, and courage to live out our purpose.  The purpose that You created for us before each of us was born.  Keep us close to each other here on this earth and let us live together forever with You in Heaven.

In the name of Jesus, Our savior.  Amen.
