25 You shall serve the Lord your God, and he will bless your bread and your water
Exodus 23:25 ESV
Prayer List: President of the United States and Congress, missionaries abroad, pastor, relative with cancer, job search for friend, that situation at work, fun, enjoyment, WAIT!!
Fun, enjoyment? With all the heavy duty stuff going on in our personal lives and the world at large, does God really have time for our little prayers? The verse from Exodus reminds His children He is involved in all aspects of our lives. God will even bless our "bread and your water".
Bread and water. Basic. Bare. Ordinary. Yet because God is the Lord of big and small, He promises to bless even that for His children.
So often prayer lists are chock full of consequential issues and grave illnesses. Those things most certainly need our fervent and effectual prayer, but don't forget God is also aware of and involved with our bread and water, the little stuff of life.
