Today’s Prayer (04/21/2021)

Oh Lord, I pray that we will continually remember You by way of communion. This is such an important time that we come together as Christians and partake of the supper of the Lord. Yes, Lord, it is an honor to partake of the bread and the cup, in order to remember Your body and the blood that was shed for us on the cross. These emblems we take of and hold in our hands are holy and so we partake of them when we are worthy. I would never wish to participate when I have fallen into sin, as Paul taught in 1 Corinthians 11. To jeopardize my relationship with You, in order to simply fit in with the crowd would be terrible. I know the importance of communion, but I do not wish to desecrate it with my unclean hands. Therefore, I will think upon what I have done for You this past week, and if the Spirit was with me, then I will partake. Living worthy in Your sight is what You expect of each one of Your true believers. And I know that more people in the faith would be walking in Your abundant light if they would simply turn to You in constant prayer. Many things have taken hold of people’s lives and hearts, which has also removed their relationship with You. This is sad that people in the faith have fallen away, but I pray for their safe return. You have led me safely back and I pray that many more people will return and be saved. In all things, I pray that Your will, will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Have Your way in my life and others in Your church today. I love You. Amen.

1 Corinthians 11:23-25

1 Corinthians 11:23-25 (KJV)
23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

Communion

We remember Jesus’s body and His sacrifice for sins on the cross when we eat the bread and drink the cup in communion.
