Resurrection and the life,

You entered a locked room where your disciples cowered in fear. You brought your peace and breathed new life. Your presence and spirit were sufficient for them to leave the locked room and give witness to your kingdom and life. So breathe on me, enter the locked places of my heart where I hide in fear. Give me new courage to leave the locked places where I find a measure of false security. Empower me to give witness to your compassion, mercy, forgiveness, and love by making your ways my ways.

Through Christ, Amen.
