St. Nicolai Notes

Prayer for July 26 - August 1, 2015

Sermon Text: John 6:1-21

Jesus, like the crowds, we often follow You because we are more interested in what you can do for us than we are in following wherever You lead or going wherever You command.

Jesus, like the disciples, when we are confronted by significant need, we often look at each other, take inventory of our resources, and conclude: “There is not enough.  We cannot respond.”

Then . . . You take what seems so meager from our hands, bless it, distribute it, and those seemingly inadequate resources become enough for all to share them.  

Jesus, stir our hearts to seek You in order to participate in your generous mission.  Open our hearts to trust You and to see that You have adequate resources, for every need, when those who seek You receive and share with gladness.  Amen.
