As frozen ground thaws, gentle God, also soften my hard attitudes and melt my cold heart. Ready me for new life.

Tender my soul for the arrival of spring.

Let Easter happen in me and all around me.

Warm my expectations and make me ready for what you have prepared as I deepen my prayer and my walk with you.  Amen.
