Feed Me, Lord

Father, as You feed my body so generously and faithfully,
You long to feed my soul.
In Jesus Christ You spread a rich banquet
for my true, eternal self.

You offer me
His Spirit,
His love,
His peace and joy,
His unbroken relationship with You.
You offer me everything that my being craves,
everything I will ever need,
everything You are.

Father, as I come to Your table today,
may I come hungry,
ready to be fed with
every song
every prayer,
every word.
Feed me with
the Spirit of Christ.
Feed me with
His body and
His blood.

A Prayer Response to Romans 14

Romans 14:13-23

Do not…destroy your brother for whom Christ died (Romans 14:15, NIV).

Lord, as I interact daily with people,
help me always remember that I’m handling
Your most precious commodity and
Your most valuable work.
I’m dealing with those you love and
for whom You died.

May my
actions,
words, and
manner
always speak
Your love,
Your mercy,
Your forbearance, and
Your self-sacrifice.

Lord, Your presence among us is
righteousness,
joy, and
peace.
May my life be
righteousness,
joy, and
peace in my little world.
May I be the fragrance of Your love
to everyone around me.

Jesus, be
my comfort,
my pleasure,
my goal, and
my highest good
as I walk among Your loved ones today.

A Prayer for Today

Today, Eternal God, we live and move and breathe in You.
Help us live this day
abundantly,
in the reality of all You are.

You are our Father.
Help us walk in
all the privileges of the children of God.

You are our Savior, who gave Yourself for us.
Help us rest in
Your all-encompassing love.

You are the Spirit.
Help us love and serve
here in Your presence,
out of the rich abundance of Almighty God.

We ask all this
in Your name and
for Your glory alone.
Amen.
