Personal Prayer
Praise God, who is the bread of life. Thank God for the strength he provides you to live each day. Confess those times when you have complained about weakness or yielded to the desire not to press on. Commit yourself to doing those things which nurture spiritual energy. Ask God to reveal to you ways by which he would have you offer “bread” to others.

For Your Family and Friends
Pray that God will provide the energy needed to deal with unexpected circumstances in your family life, remembering that he will sustain you.

For Your Church
Pray that when your congregation gathers around the communion table they will experience the bread as the body of Christ, broken for them.

For the Kingdom
Pray that the farmers across North America will see their fields of wheat and corn as a source of life provided by God.

For People to Know Jesus
Pray that our cultural spiritual malnutrition will develop into a hunger for the bread of life.
