Feast Upon His Word

SCRIPTURE

 

Matthew 4:3-4

During that time the devil came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.”

But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say,

‘People do not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.

 

Psalm 119:103

How sweet your words taste to me;

      they are sweeter than honey.

 

 

PRAYER

 

Lord, I pray that you would nourish ______’s soul with the sweetness of your word. I ask that when the temptations come to divert her focus to the temporal, you would feed her with the eternal. I pray that when she is pulled to worry about her needs, you would give her what she truly needs. Strengthen her with truth as it flows from your heart to hers Lord. Make her mind simmer on that truth, pondering its application to her life this week. Bring to her remembrance the bread of truth you have given her soul in days past, and nourish her again as she presses its beauty into her everyday. And Lord, I pray that, as she tastes the sweetness of your word, her soul would be satisfied. May ______ live indeed by every word that comes from you to her. Amen.
