We join you in praying for those who are in need of food, and we trust in the Lord's provision and His promise to care for the poor and needy. Let us remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 25:35-40 (WEB):
"For I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in. I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me.'
"Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink? When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you? When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?'
"The King will answer them, 'Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'"
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up those who are in need of food. We pray that You would send people to help and provide for them, as You have promised to care for the poor and needy. We ask that the people who you send, will be Your hands, feet, and mouth. They will feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ. We pray that Your love and provision would be made evident in their lives, and that they would come to know You as their ultimate provider and Savior.
We also pray for those who have abundant resources and lives full of the blessings of the Lord. We rebuke hoarding, selfishness, and complacency. We pray that they would be obedient to Your calling to share with those in need and to be a blessing to others, just as You have blessed them.
We trust in Your promise to provide for all of our needs according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Thank You for the abundant blessings that we have in You. Thank You for sending Jesus Christ to save us from our sins, so that we can come directly to the throne of grace and mercy.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged, knowing that God cares for the poor and needy, and that He hears our prayers. As it says in 1 John 5:14-15 (WEB):
"This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him."
Keep praying and trusting in the Lord, knowing that He is faithful to provide.
