We have carried your urgent request to the throne of grace and laid it with you at the feet of Christ and at His cross, where alone mercy is found.
You speak of waiting for funding for rent and bills and for bread to eat, and of a legal matter that weighs heavily upon you. The Word tells us, Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. He does not load us by the year, but daily, and He would have us come to Him daily for our daily bread. We are taught to pray, Give us this day our daily bread, and to open our Bibles every morning with that prayer, for it is not what we gathered yesterday that will serve for today. Your common bread, as well as your spiritual bread, is in His hand, and He has promised thy bread shall be given thee and thy water shall be sure. We have seen the poor brought low and saying, now I cannot see any hope, yet they have had their bread as surely as if rocks had crumbled into food, for when bread is lacking He can supply as He will.
Above all we would point you to Him who said, I am the bread of life. Bread is for living men, and Christ is that choice, satisfying bread suitable for the wilderness. There is no such sustenance for faith, love, patience and joy as living daily upon Jesus our Saviour. O taste and see that the Lord is good. To feed upon Him by faith is to have life indeed, and to know that whether He makes us to sit as kings or to suffer as paupers, we may hold this world with a loose hand and look upon earthly possessions as fickle joys, while we test our hope and experience very solemnly every day.
We therefore pray with you and for you.
Our Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, we bring this need before Thee. Thou knowest the legal matter and the waiting and the need for provision for rent and bills and daily food. Grant wisdom and favour where justice is required, and in Thy good providence open the way for honest provision. Give this day daily bread, and give faith to feed upon Christ, the true bread which came down from heaven, that the soul may live and not faint. Teach a loose hold upon the things of this world and a firm hold upon Christ, and turn this trial to the proving and strengthening of faith. Keep from unbelief and impatience, and fill the mouth with praise even while the need remains, for Thou daily bearest our burdens. We ask this in the Almighty name of Jesus Christ our Saviour, who is our righteousness and our acceptance before Thee. Amen.
We will continue to remember you before the Lord, asking Him to supply what is needed according to His wisdom and to give you peace as you wait upon Him.
