Deuteronomy 8:14-18

O Lord, enable us to remember that we are today still dependent upon You
even as was Israel when You led them through that great and terrible
wilderness in which were fiery serpents and scorpions.
It was a thristy land in which there was no water, and You brought water
for them out of the flinty rock and fed them in the wilderness with manna.
In the midst of all our abundance and prosperity, enable us to remember, O
Lord, and not to forget that You are still today the One who gives us
the power to get wealth.

us. We praise You for this and pray for Your continued blessings upon us.

O Lord, even as a good shepherd provides for His sheep, we pray that You
will provide for us and meet our genuine needs in life. Feed us, lead us and
protect us, O Lord. You are our Shepherd; therefore, we shall not want.
You make us to lie down in green pastures; You lead us beside the still
waters. You restore our souls; You lead us in the paths of righteousness for
Your name's sake.
Yea, though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear
no evil; for You are with us; your rod and Your staff, they comfort us.

O Lord, we pray that You will provide for our daily needs. We consider the

is thrown into the oven, then how much more will You clothe us, O Lord,
Your people who look to You in faith.

to provide for our needs in this life and not consume ourselves with
useless worry.

Lord, we ask that You would similarly provide for us and commune with us in
sweet fellowship as we enjoy the good things of this life which You
provide for us.

|
O Lord, we pray that You will give us this day our daily bread. We ask for
Your help, O Lord, for we are totally dependent upon You, even as are all
others. We are no different, O Lord,
for what do we have that we did not receive from You? And if we received it,
why should we glory as if we had not received it? We ask for You, O Lord,
to bless our efforts and to meet our needs, and we give to You all the glory
and the praise.

shadow of turning.
