“Break Thou the Bread of Life, dear Lord, to me, as Thou didst break the loaves beside the sea; beyond the sacred page I seek Thee, Lord; my spirit pants for Thee, O Living Word.”
“Thou art the Bread of Life, O Lord, to me, Thy holy Word the truth, that saveth me; give me to eat and live with Thee above; teach me to love Thy truth, for Thou art Love.” Lord, we are spiritually hungry, feed us with this Bread always.
Our ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, as it is written, he gave them bread from heaven to eat. Jesus said to them, the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world. They said to him, sir, give us this bread always. John 6
“I am the bread of life, whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” Lord, we believe, please give us this bread always for we are spiritually hungry, and in need of this life-giving bread. Thank you, Lord!
Renew our minds, Lord, so that we may be transformed in your likeness and not be conformed to the ways of the world; guide us through all things temporal so that we do not lose out on the things eternal. Amen!
Lord, we come before you this morning, because we know that you understand the desires of our hearts, you see beforehand the changes that are coming and going, guide us Lord through all the changes of our lives, strengthen our resolve to be more like you, all this we ask in your precious name. Amen!
“Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults, whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse.”
“Do not rebuke mockers or they will hate you; rebuke the wise and they will love you. Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.”
“Instruct a wise man, and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man, and he will increase his learning. But you cannot separate fools from their foolishness, even though you grind them like grain with mortar and pestle.”
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. For by me your days will be multiplied, and years of life will be added to you. If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, and if you scoff, you will bear it alone. Proverbs 9
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind. Romans 12
Oh God, grant us wisdom this day, so that amid the changes, the transformations, and the ideals of this world, that we may not be overwhelmed; instill in us the mindset to test what is presented to us, so that we could discern what is your will, what is good, acceptable and perfect in your eyes. All this we ask in your most precious name. Amen!
