Holy Cross Thunderbolt Newsletter
April 12 , 2021
We've all been there...when the money in the bank seems too small for your whopping bills, or you feel like you don’t have enough time and strength for the job, or enough wisdom for the decision. When resources are in short supply, we start to focus on our lack.
That’s what the disciples were doing when Jesus asked them to feed the 5,000 people. “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they said (Luke 9:13). Jesus, however, took the little they had, lifted it to heaven and gave thanks. Then he put what they had to use. Man’s scarcity turned to God’s abundance as they broke the loaves to feed 5,000 people and later gathered 12 baskets of leftovers.
What resource are you lacking today?
Pray together with me:
Heavenly Father, you know our needs. Our time is little and our strength is small, but we bring them to you. Sometimes it seems like the money in the bank is never enough, but we bring what we have to you, and we entrust it into your care. All we have is yours, and we know you will supply all we need.
Lord, forgive us for focusing on the things we lack, and open our eyes to the riches we already possess. Thank you for what you have given us already. Help us trust you to meet all our needs.
Lord, we praise you because you are the God of abundance. Your love never runs out. Your wisdom never fails. Your strength never runs short. Your blessings overflow in our lives and bring joy to our hearts.
Help us to rest in your sufficiency when we lack resources. We praise you because you have the power to work miracles when our supplies run short. Open our eyes to the table of blessing you have laid out before us and help us trust in your abundant supply.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
