The scripture for today’s prayer:
Still they stood there in disbelief, filled with joy and wonder. Then he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he ate it as they watched.
44 Then he said, “When I was with you before, I told you that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45 Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. 46 And he said, “Yes, it was written long ago that the Messiah would suffer and die and rise from the dead on the third day. 47 It was also written that this message would be proclaimed in the authority of his name to all the nations,[f] beginning in Jerusalem: ‘There is forgiveness of sins for all who repent.’ 48 You are witnesses of all these things.
49 “And now I will send the Holy Spirit, just as my Father promised. But stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven.”
Luke 24:41-49 New Living Translation (NLT)
Prayer: Lord, It is hard to imagine sharing food with you as the Disciples did. Then learning about the Holy Spirit. It certainly had to be an amazing experience for them. And for all who believe in you and accept the free gift of salvation. And all possible because of the sacrifice at the cross for our sins. Merciful is our Lord.
