Opening Prayer
(based on Psalm 1 4 5 :1 5 1 6 5 5 :1 -3, John 6:35)
Lord,
the eyes of all look to You in hope;
and You give them what they need.
You open Your hand
and satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing.
We, too, turn to You again, longing to be filled—
to eat of the Bread of Life,
to drink from Your life-giving streams,
to taste Your goodness and live.
May the time we spend together in Your presence
nourish our hearts and minds;
may it strengthen our relationship with You,
and renew our commitment to live in this world as Your faithful disciples.
For You alone are God,
the Source and Sustainer of life.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
