🙌 Jesus is ALIVE!

Mark 16:6 Verse Image

Celebrate Jesus’ resurrection with us!

2,000 years ago Jesus walked the earth, so He knew what it was like to be us. He also knew what it would cost Him to save us… and yet He chose to do it anyway. Today, we celebrate His power over death. Because He lives, so can we!

Living Hope - A Countdown to Easter

No matter what you’re facing today, Jesus’ resurrection means evil doesn’t win — even when you find yourself surrounded by darkness.

Over the next 3 days, discover how to hold onto hope by immersing yourself in the Easter story with this YouVersion Originals Plan.


Day 1: “Why have You forsaken me?” Imagine you’re watching Jesus hang from the cross. The only way He can breathe is by pushing Himself up using the nails in His wrists and ankles. As the day draws to an end, He musters what little strength He has left to pull Himself up again so that He can cry out: “My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?” If we’re being honest with ourselves, we’ve all probably had moments where we’ve asked God, “Where are You in this? Why have You forsaken me?” How should we respond when we find ourselves in situations where we feel alone, anxious, or forsaken?

We recently launched YouVersion Prayer, designed to help us have honest conversations with God, in a time when we are all searching for answers. When you hear people talk about hearing from God, what do they mean? Maybe you’ve tried before to read from the Bible, but you found it hard to understand. Or maybe you just don’t know where to start…

You’re not alone. Let’s pray together.

God, please remind me constantly that You are with me.

Prayer is powerful. And because of social media, we can pray together even when we are physically far apart.

Each day, we’ll post several short prayers that you can save or share with friends and family. Together, let’s continue to seek God’s heart for our hurting world.
