Holy God, throughout history you have fed people in body, mind and spirit. As we gather in worship today, we rest in the knowledge that you continue to care for us. We come into this space with complicated lives, different needs, and unique situations. You know all of our longings, and you look at us with compassion and love. Because we know the bread of life, Jesus, is the sustaining source of hope, we lean into this time of worship with expectancy and faith. You have provided for our needs from the beginning, and you will meet us once again today. Amen.
