1 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: Life Audio, Well their friends. I'm Jody Nisnick and this 2 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 1: is our LINT series helping us prepare our hearts for Easter. 3 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: This year, we are reflecting on the I Am statements 4 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: of Jesus and this is a midweek prayer to help 5 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: us refocus our heart and our mind back on Jesus. 6 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 1: And we'll do that after we take a quick break 7 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 1: for a word from our sponsors. As we begin our 8 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: prayer time, I want to invite you to just take 9 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: a few deep in and out breaths to help you 10 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: settle in. And as you're doing that, let me read 11 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: the passage that we meditated on to remind us. 12 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 2: Of what it says. 13 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: This is John six thirty two through thirty six from 14 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: the New Living Translation. Jesus said, I tell you the truth. 15 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: Moses didn't give you bread from heaven. My Father did, 16 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,839 Speaker 1: and now he offers you the true bread from heaven. 17 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: The true bread of God is the one who comes 18 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 1: down from heaven and gives life to the world. Sir, 19 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: they said, give us that bread every day. Jesus replied, 20 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: I Am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me 21 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will 22 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: never be thirsty, but you haven't believed in me, even 23 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: though you have seen me. Thank you, Lord, that you 24 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: are the bread of life, the true bread of God 25 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: that has come down from heaven and gives life to us, 26 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: to the world. Lord, there are so many needs that 27 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: we have, places where we are longing for you to 28 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,959 Speaker 1: be the bread of life for us. And so we 29 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,399 Speaker 1: ask again that you would meet us in these places 30 00:02:43,440 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: of need, and we name them before you. Now, Lord, 31 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: when you taught the disciples to pray, you asked them 32 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: to say, give us. 33 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 2: Today our daily bread. 34 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: Lord, we know that that means, just as it was 35 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: for Moses and the people in his time, that you 36 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: give just enough for today. So Lord, would you tell 37 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: us in this quiet space that you are enough for us. 38 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: Would you remind us that you are holding us, and 39 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: would your spirit come into this place right now and 40 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: comfort us for all the needs that we have just 41 00:03:51,800 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: named before you, Lord, Like the original hearers of this 42 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: word who said, give us that bread every day, you Lord, 43 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: are the bread that we need every day, and we 44 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: ask that. 45 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 2: You would give it to us. 46 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: You say, we'll never be hungry again, and will never 47 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: be thirsty, And those things are hard for us. To 48 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 1: comprehend in this space where there is longing unmet. But 49 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: we ask help us to know the deeper truth that 50 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: you do provide for us, and that with you, as 51 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: Psalm twenty three says, we have everything we need. May 52 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 1: we rest in that truth today. Help us to know 53 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: what it means. Lord, walk with us today as the 54 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: bread that sustains us, as the bread that provides for 55 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: us and meets every need we have. Thank you, Lord 56 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: for your word and this truth, guide and lead us 57 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: through this Litton season and beyond. We ask this in 58 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: the name of Jesus, the Bread of life. 59 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 2: Amen. 60 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: Well, friends, I will see you next week for our 61 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: next meditation.
