1 Corinthians 15:29-34Dear Father, rewarder of all who diligently seek you,Thank you for Jesus, whose life not only taught us how to live, but whose resurrection proved that you have power over death. Thank you for the assurance of resurrection, for without it we would have no reason to persevere.His resurrection is why I believe in my own future resurrection. All my hopes are pinned on him. Were it not for this, I would live as do unbelievers, who say, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."May I live according to Christ's righteousness through the power that raised him from the dead. And may I never forget the promise of resurrection.In the name of Jesus I lift up this prayer. Amen.Ⓒ 1996-2025 Heartlight, Inc.

1 Corinthians 15:27-28Dear Father, my everything,May I learn from Christ's subjection to you, for when all things are subjected to him, your Son himself will also be subject to you, the God who put all things under the Son, that you may be everything to everyone!Our Father, increase my love for you until you become everything to me! It is almost too awesome to ask - I am afraid of so much change: May I love you like Jesus loves you!In his name. Amen.Ⓒ 1996-2025 Heartlight, Inc.

1 Corinthians 15:26Dear Father, destroyer of every enemy,Help me to look to the outcome, to the end of things, when Christ will deliver the kingdom to you after destroying every ruler, every authority, and every power.Enable me to keep my eyes on his victory, for he must reign until he has put all enemies under his feet.Motivate me to focus on the time when even the last enemy, Death itself, will be destroyed by our LORD.In his name I pray.

1 Corinthians 15:21-23Dear Father, worthy God,You have declared that just as death came through the sin of one man, so life comes through one man's resurrection from the dead. As in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ first, then at his coming we who belong to him.Thank you, Father, for the assurance you gave by raising him up. Thank you that his resurrection is our resurrection! Thank you for this revelation of the order in which it will come.In the name of Jesus I offer you this thanksgiving and praise for the most wonderful events of history, Christ's resurrection and ours.

1 Corinthians 15:12-20Dear Father, confirmer of truth,Strengthen me against all that Satan and the world can bring against me. Confirm my understanding of what you did in resurrecting Jesus and what you will do in resurrecting me and all your saints.If there is no resurrection, I know that the gospel is false, my faith is in vain, I am still in my sins, those who have fallen asleep have perished, and you have been misrepresented as having raised Jesus from the dead.If we Christians have hope only for this life, then we are to be pitied - for our suffering is for nothing. But we know that you have raised Christ from the dead, as the first fruits of them who have fallen asleep.In the name of Jesus I offer you this thanksgiving and praise for the most wonderful events of history, Christ's resurrection and ours.
