Too often I work for the food that perishes.

I work for food that is rotten,

Food that tastes like cardboard,

The food that does not satiate.

 Redeemer God,

What is this food you have offered?

A food that fills,

A food that gives life,

A food that endures for eternal life?

I cannot wrap my mind around it…

Yet I desire to receive it.

Sustainer God,

I open my hands

To let go of empty work and empty food.

I open my heart and my mind.

Humbly coming to you

For I am hungry,

And believing in you

For I am thirsty.

 Thank you for your immeasurable gift.

Amen.
