PRAYING FOR GOD’S REIGN: LENTEN PRAYERS 

DAY 29: MONDAY  Give us this day our daily bread

Generous One, we humble ourselves to ask You to meet our needs for today. We ask in confidence because You have provided for us so consistently that we have no cause to doubt You.

You have fed us in green pastures. You have set a table for us in the wilderness. You have given us bread from heaven. In compassion, You have fed multitudes who were like sheep without a shepherd. Because of your faithfulness, we are not asking for, or worrying about, the needs of tomorrow and the next day, just today.

You provide enough. Enable us to say “Enough!” Enable us to give up our anxious craving. Enable us to be satisfied with what You provide and turn from the temptation to scrape together more and more.

Forgive us when we do not trust You to provide. Forgive us when we do not see the opportunities for sharing that You create so that we may be united with our neighbors in trusting You each day. 

We rejoice and thank You for your unstinting generosity. Amen.
