Episode 399: Provision

Today's Prayer Meditation is on Provision

Father, you are Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who provides. You supply every need I have according to your riches in glory in Christ Jesus. You are able to do far more abundantly than all that I ask or think, according to your power at work within me.   

You sent your son that I could not only have eternal life, but life more abundant. So I am not anxious about my life, about what I will eat or drink, nor about my body and what clothes I will wear. Life is more than food and the body is more than clothing. I look at the birds of the air. They neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet you feed them. And you consider me of more value than the birds. I can't add a single hour to my life through worry. I look at the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don't toil or spin, but even the wealthiest king was not arrayed like one of these. You know what I need, and you always provide for me. 

Because you are my shepherd, I lack nothing. You didn't spare your own Son, but gave him up for me. How could I ever doubt that you would graciously give me all things? So I am not anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, I bring my requests to you. 

Blessed are you, Father of my Lord Jesus Christ. You have blessed me in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. Your plans for me are good. Plans for a hope and a future. 

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 

Every good and perfect gift is from you, the Father of lights. In you there is no variation or shadow due to change. 

If we, being earthly parents, now how to give good gifts to our children, how much more will you give good things to me when I ask. 

So be it.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
