Philippians 4:19
(ESV)
And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
PRAYER
Father God, we pray often asking You to provide for our needs.
You have always done more than we ask.
Your way is always bigger, higher, greater than we can ask or think.
We thank You for overwhelming love sent to us in so many ways.
You meet our needs in so many ways that are unknown to us, but often instigated by or through You.
Help us to remember, through this prayer, many of our friends, our colleagues and people we meet in our everyday occasions. These people are important to us and important to You.
We thank You for the Australian Church Women group of Christian women and ask that, as a community of Your love and action, You keep us together in our work with and for You in our own communities and abroad.
Loving God, we ask for Your blessing as we accept Your provision to each of us as we pray. AMEN

A man came from Baal-shalishah, bringing the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley and fresh ears of grain in his sack. And Elisha said, “Give to the men, that they may eat.” But his servant said, “How can I set this before a hundred men?” So he repeated, “Give them to the men, that they may eat, for thus says the Lord, ‘They shall eat and have some left.’” So he set it before them. And they ate and had some left, according to the word of the Lord.
