Acts 16:23-31


23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them,
they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
24 Who, having received such a charge,
thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed,
and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake,
so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately
all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.
27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep,
and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword,
and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying,
Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling,
and fell down before Paul and Silas,
30 And brought them out, and said,
Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 And they said,
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.



Today's Prayer...



Lord our God,

We thank you that you work in us and in our lives and that you show
us your compassion, no matter what cross we have to bear.
We want to rejoice in you and wait patiently until your purpose is
fulfilled and your kingdom arises on earth. Protect each one of us.
May our hearts find strength and never failing joy in Jesus Christ the Savior,
always hoping and believing, always looking to you.
For you are the Almighty God, who will come in Jesus Christ to establish
his kingdom among the peoples and at last reveal his truth in its fullness.
Then the knowledge of your will shall spread to all peoples,
so that good and evil may come before you and be judged
according to your mercy and faithful love.


In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
