Daily Prayer Prompts to Prepare for Easter Sunday

Prayer is a vital part of the Easter season. Whether you're already using Gloo or considering how it might enhance your church’s prayer life, here are eight Easter-themed prayer prompts that church leaders can send to their congregants leading up to Easter Sunday. These daily prayer prompts will inspire your congregation to pray more regularly and deepen their faith.

 

1. Morning Gratitude

Kick off the day with a prayer. Encourage your congregation to begin each day with thanks for Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice. His love and mercy are why we have hope today. 


Text idea: “Start your morning with thanks: 'Jesus, thank You for going to the cross for me. Help me live in the freedom of Your love today.'”

Using church text messaging, you can send this right when people are waking up, so they can hit the ground running. 

 

2. Praying for Others

Remind your church that Jesus prayed for others—even while on the cross. Challenge members to pray for someone who needs healing, hope, or salvation this Easter.

3. Personal Reflection

At the end of the day, prayer is a personal conversation between you and the Lord. Invite your congregation to reflect on what Easter means to them personally. Encourage them to ask, “Where do I need resurrection in my life?” 


Text idea: “Jesus rose to bring new life. What in your heart needs renewal? Spend a few quiet minutes inviting Him in.”

You can automate this prayer prompt as part of a multi-day campaign using church text messaging tools.

 

4. Scripture-Based Prayer

Use Easter scriptures as a foundation for daily prayer. This connects the practice of prayer with the truth of the gospel.

Text idea: “‘He is not here; He has risen!’ (Luke 24:6) Reflect on this truth today and thank God for the power of the resurrection.”

This is one of the easiest prayer prompts to send via text—and one of the most powerful.

 

5. Giving Thanks

We have so much to be thankful for, particularly this Easter season. Encourage prayers of gratitude for the gift of salvation and the fresh start Easter represents.

 

Text idea: “Thank God today for the new life we have in Christ. His resurrection means we are never without hope!”

Short, uplifting prayer prompts like this are great for boosting daily Easter engagement.

 

6. Praying for Strength

Remind your members that Jesus drew strength from prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. Encourage them to do the same when facing trials.


Text idea: “Are you carrying something heavy today? Ask God to give you the same strength Jesus had in Gethsemane.”

This is a great opportunity to open a conversation through church text messaging.

 

7. Healing Prayer

Jesus didn’t just rise—He brings restoration and healing. Invite your church to pray for physical, emotional, or spiritual healing in themselves or others.


Text idea: “Ask God for healing today—body, mind, or soul. The same power that raised Jesus is still at work in us.”

This prayer prompt reminds your congregation of the hope they have in Him.

 

8. Evening Reflection

Encourage ending each day by reflecting on Christ’s love and the hope we have in Him.

Text idea: “As the day ends, thank Jesus for walking with you. Rest in the hope of the resurrection—He is alive, and He is near.”

Use this as the final message in a series of Easter engagement texts.
