Prayer topic: Food for the hungry
This week marks the start of the FoodShare March Campaign across Minnesota. No matter where you live, it’s a great reminder that people around us experience hunger every day whether or not we are aware of their need. Today we humbly ask that you pray for the hungry.
Will You Pray?
Here’s a simple prayer to guide you:
Lord, we know you care for each person as your valuable creation. May your people rise up to meet the needs of the hungry men, women and children in our community. Please help me to see those who are hurting around me and guide me to know the ways that I can help them. Thank you for the food you have provided me today and for your provision to others through the blessings of your people. Amen.
Key Bible Verse
Matthew 6:26 (NIV): “Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?”
Read in Context: Matthew 6:25-34
Do Not Worry
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life ? 28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
