  • A prayer for Jesus as the Bread of Life 2026-10-16

    O Lord Jesus, you declared yourself the Bread of Life, and in this declaration, you offer sustenance for all who come to you. As I reflect on your words, I acknowledge my own hunger and thirst – not merely for physical nourishment, but for deeper meaning, for lasting peace, for true fulfillment.

    You promise that whoever comes to you will never go hungry, and whoever believes in you will never be thirsty. This is a profound comfort, a liberation from the endless striving and dissatisfaction that so often marks our lives. I often find myself searching for satisfaction in fleeting things, in worldly comforts, in the approval of others. But you offer a different kind of nourishment, one that truly satisfies the deepest longings of my soul.

    Lord, help me to come to you more fully today. Help me to believe in you with a deeper trust. I confess that at times my faith wavers, and my hunger for earthly things distracts me from the true bread you offer.

    Teach me to recognise your presence in the ordinary moments of my life, in the fellowship of your people, in the truth of your Word. May I find in you the strength, the peace, and the enduring satisfaction that you alone can provide. Lord, help me to truly hunger and thirst for you, that I might be filled.
