Day 21 – Friday
Mark 6:30-42 (parallels: Matthew 14:13-21; Luke 9:10-17; John
6:1-15)
God of Abundance,
You who have provided so generously for us, deepen our trust in You. Help us
neither to be apathetic toward nor daunted by the deep, persistent needs that
we see around us. Help us not to resist when You call us to invest our resources
to meet the needs of others.
Help us to
remember that You have resources that are not evident to us, and that You are
able to release resources, in unforeseen ways, to respond to the real needs of
people who hunger, thirst, seek clothing or shelter, and cry out in desperation
for healing, rescue or liberation.
Fill us with your
compassion. Liberate us from our limited vision that sees scarcity instead of
opportunity. Enable us to serve others with gladness. Take our resources and
multiply them in ways that serve your purpose of blessing, nourishing, strengthening and renewing many people.
We ask in the name of Jesus who fed multitudes. Amen.
