Unfortunately, the way the world works, even if you are not busy (like me) and especially if you are, it is difficult to take the time to sit down, get still, and focus on Jesus.
Unless we are intentional about setting aside time to get alone with God, the Easter holiday will come and go without much of a response from us.
Little note: I've noticed that in weeks where I spend significant and intimate alone time with Jesus, Sunday morning corporate worship becomes something where I anticipate the presence of God and meet with him. On the other hand, I've also noticed that if I don't meet with Jesus throughout the week, Sunday morning is just another robotic routine, a self-help time at best.
I believe that God wants us to anticipate his presence in the corporate worship setting on Easter morning, and I am convinced that it will be very difficult unless we are intentional about setting aside time to be with him and think about what Easter is all about.
I am going to set aside time tomorrow mid-morning to reflect on Easter, and the events that took place to secure my hope and salvation. I hope that you will do the same!
Love,
Leah

I agree with you.
We do need to prepare for worship
seeking to meet with our Lord.
Worship should happen everyday in our lives.
Keep pointing others to Jesus Christ.
Your post was a blessing to me.
Paul, I am so glad the post resonated with you! Thank you for the encouragement.
