Hunger and Thirst

Happy are those who are hungry and thirsty for righteousness, because they will be fed until they are full. (Matthew 5:6 CEB)

Today's prayer topics:

• God, forgive us for hungering and thirsting after the inappropriate, even the good, because anything less than God's best fails to satisfy.
• Pray we direct our appetites toward God's holiness and righteousness that we may be filled up with his goodness to share with others. 
• Pray for the people of Emmanuel College to hunger and thirst for God for he is more than enough to meet our needs and help us conquer our challenges.

Give thanks for God's generous care and for his answers to our prayers:

• We thank God for helping us turn our affection toward him who is our provider rather than focusing our attention on our lack.

As the praises go up, the power comes down.
