Giving God,
You provided manna in the wilderness for your people
who fled Egypt. You gave meat and bread to Elijah
when he was hungry. And you have blessed us with
this food before us. Thank you, Father, for always
providing for your children.

Amen.

Watchful God,
You see the sparrow when it falls;
you also hear us when we call.
You number the hairs upon our head;
you give us all our daily bread.
We thank you, Lord, and give you praise
for guiding us through all our days.

Amen.
