Prayer as Nourishment

The presence of Jesus Christ gives us hope, truth, forgiveness, deliverance, love, salvation, and redemption. All of these and more are available to those who receive Him. He freely gives what we need to be healthy. It's not enough to be fed, healed, or restored, if we feed again on what left us hungry, if we return to what made us sick in the first place, if we wander back to the evil we were delivered from, then the outcome will be the same. To remain healthy, we must desire what nourishes us and not what is empty, unhealthy, or poisonous.

When we go to God in prayer this week, let us acknowledge our need for the nourishment that comes only from Him. Be honest with God and yourself about what you crave that isn't nourishing. Let us ask God for what we need to endure to eternal life, more of Him.

Prayer

Thank You God, for sending Your Son, the Bread of Life, to us. I want to be filled up with your Word. Help me dive deeper into Your saving and loving knowledge. AMEN.
