Prayer for September 24-30, 2017
Sermon Text: Exodus 16:2-15

That we will respond to your provision with thanksgiving and trust
Attentive God, in spite of the many works of salvation that You have accomplished on our behalf and the many ways that You have provided for our basic needs, we are still inclined to grumble, still inclined to think that You have not done enough for us – at least not lately.

We distrust the leaders who have spoken your word to us and who have led us into your presence. So, by inference, we distrust You.

We remember and yearn for past days that we imagine were much better than the days in which we are living now. We imagine that times of bondage and harsh limits were days of bounty and freedom.

In spite of our grumbling, our lack of trust, our wistful look over our shoulders, You act for our good. You provide the resources that we need as your generous gifts. You provide the spiritual leadership without which we can go nowhere. You show us your unmatched glory. 

The daily bread You have provided from heaven is enough! We thank You today, and each day. Amen.
