“One does not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.”
Matthew 4:4
Lord, let me hunger enough that I not forget the world’s hunger.
Lord, let me hunger enough that I may have bread to share.
Lord, let me hunger enough that I may long for the Bread of Heaven.
Lord, let me hunger enough that I may be filled.
But, O Lord,
let me not hunger so much
that I seek after that which is not bread,
nor try to live by bread alone.
Amen.
