God, our provider, all that we need, you supply. The strength that we require for the days ahead, you make available to us.
We need only prepare the table of our lives to receive you in our midst. We need only open our souls to receive the wisdom of your word. We need only empty ourselves of our pride to acknowledge that what we really need is you.
Satisfy, then, our hunger for truth and honesty, for peace and unity, for your wisdom and guidance, this day and in the weeks to come.
In the strength of Your name, we pray. Amen.
1 Kings 19:8
Don’t bother about the idea that God “has known for millions of years exactly what you are about to pray”. That isn’t what it’s like. God is hearing you now, just as simply as a mother hears a child. The difference His timelessness makes is that this now (which slips from you even as you say the word now) is for Him infinite.
—C.S. Lewis
