Daily Prayer for August 6th, 2022

Prayer of Illumination:

             As our bodies are hungry and need food to survive, Lord, our soul longs for your word that we may grow and thrive. We ask that you help guide us as we come before your word new in this time. That we may taste and see the good you are calling us to learn and live. This we pray in your loved name. Amen. 

 

Prayer of Thanksgiving:

            Lord, we give you thanks for the blessing of being fed. Your word feeds us. We are provided for in our spirit with moments and relationships. We are blessed when we have enough food to eat. And when we have more than enough, Lord, we are encouraged to share with others our blessing given first by you. We pray our offering may fill the lives of our neighbors to show your love and a glimpse of your abundance for us all. This we pray in your holy name. Amen. 

 

Because I was upset and feeling foolish, I prayed:

Lord, you remind me how full I am when I feel empty.

If I am nothing short of ridiculous for thinking, I am empty when a crumb is misplaced. 

You genuinely do provide at the end of the day. 

For that, I'm grateful.

Amen.
