Scripture and a Prayer: “Getting Filled and Satisfied”

“The poor shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek Him will praise the Lord. Let your heart live forever.” (Psalm 22:26)

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, the food that satisfies our soul is our intake of You. You said that You are the Bread of Life, and that whoever believes in You will never hunger, and hence be satisfied. But when I look at this verse about the poor eating and being satisfied, my heart and soul turns to Your Beatitudes where You said that blessed are the poor in spirit, for there is the kingdom of God, and blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled, and blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see You. Thank you, Jesus, that I can find my satisfaction, not in anything the world offers, but in what You offer, which is indeed the food that satisfies, and that gives us eternal life. AMEN
