Day 21 of the 40 Days of Prayer, 1 Day of Celebrations
Saturday, March 10, Day 21 of the 40 Days of Prayer, 1 Day of Celebration: The 2018 prayer focus in preparation of our worship of Christ for His death for our sins and the celebration for His resurrection that gives us eternal life.
Verses of the Day:
Luke 22:14-20 When the hour had come, He reclined at the table, and the apostles with Him. And He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; for I say to you, I shall never again eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He said, “Take this and share it among yourselves; for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.” And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood.
Prayer for the Day:
Lord, Your life, Your death and Your resurrection from the dead is our bread and drink. As food gives life to our bodies, so too does Your gracious act on the cross provide life to our souls. Today, we take time to think and remember. We consider Your willingness to fulfill all that was necessary to make forgiveness of our sins possible. We remember the work You did to bring us into a new covenant relationship with God. I confess that You are my life and my hope, forever.
