John 6:1-2 New King James Version
6 After these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias. 2 Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased.
     Jesus, when you come among us, please help us recognize your signs.

John 6:5-9 New King James Version
5 Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?” 6 But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do. 7 Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may have a little.” 8 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him, 9 “There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?”
     Jesus, please help us find our sufficiency in you.

John 6:13-14 New King James Version
13 Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten. 14 Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, “This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
     Holy Spirit, help us recognize the signs of Jesus' work among us.

Ephesians 2:1-6 New King James Version
1 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
     Holy Spirit, thank you for bringing us to new life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Psalm 122:1 New King James Version
1 I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go into the house of the Lord.”
     Jesus, thank you for the joy of our weekly fellowship in you at the Eucharist.

2 Chronicles 36:14-15 New King James Version
14 Moreover all the leaders of the priests and the people transgressed more and more, according to all the abominations of the nations, and defiled the house of the Lord which He had consecrated in Jerusalem. 15 And the Lord God of their fathers sent warnings to them by His messengers, rising up early and sending them, because He had compassion on His people and on His dwelling place.
     LORD, we have transgressed your word to us. Help us heed the warnings of your prophets.

A Word Received: Come into my presence with thanksgiving.
