Gracious Father,
In the wilderness of life, where the sands shift beneath our feet and doubts assail our hearts, we seek Your presence. You are the oasis in our deserts, the wellspring of grace that never runs dry.
When we stumble, Lord, extend Your hand to lift us up. Just as You provided manna and quail to sustain the Israelites in their wandering, so too do You sustain us. Your compassion knows no bounds, and Your willingness to restore is unwavering.
Teach us to reflect, O God. Remind us of those unexpected moments when Your provision came forth—a timely word, an unexpected blessing, a glimmer of hope. May gratitude well up within us, even in the barren places.
As we journey through life’s challenges, may Your grace bloom wild within us. May we taste and see that You are good, even when the path is rugged. And may our hearts echo the psalmist’s words: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”
In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
