Loving Lord, who provides for us good things to satisfy our souls, keep us from wasting ourselves on that which entices but does not satisfy, that we would delight ourselves in what is good and lasting, remaining strong and tied to you and to one another, through Christ our teacher, who showed us how you desire us to live and ascended back to you in the Holy Spirit. Amen.
‘Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread and your earnings for that which does not satisfy? Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food.’ – Isa. 55:2
