Prayer for July 29-August 4, 2018 
Sermon Text: John 6:1-21

That we may release our anxious grasp on many things so You may use them to do your wondrous works

Christ Jesus, we seldom think that our available resources are adequate for our own needs. We certainly think them inadequate for the massive need that we see in our communities and in the wider world around us.    

But You are able to take what we offer to You, bless it, break it, and share it in ways that bring satisfaction to many. You are able to do what seems impossible to us as You trust in God’s provision and act with compassion.

Give us a clearer vision of how You may act among us as we trust You deeply. Enable us to step beyond fear whether we face tempestuous times or overwhelming needs. Enable us to release resources from our anxious grasp so that You may do your wondrous works. 

Sometimes we are terrified, but mostly we are awed and delighted by your presence and action. We rejoice in You! Amen.
