People: but
yet we are hungry.

to whom can we go? You have the words of eternal life.

Rev.
Robert J. Brink
Gracious
God, you have placed within the hearts of all your children a longing for your
Word and a hunger for your truth. Grant that, believing in the One whom you
have sent, we may know him to be the true bread of heaven and food of eternal
life, Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom with you and the Holy Spirit be glory and
honor forever and ever. As he taught us to pray for daily bread, we say:
Our Father who art in
heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done, on
earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our
debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not
into temptation, but
deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the
glory, forever. Amen.
