Use Me

Here I am, Lord. Use me.

The line from the Lord's Prayer, "Give us this day our daily bread," can refer to food for the body. It can also mean food for the soul or nourishment for the spirit, the living bread of which Jesus spoke.

We all want life to mean more than just material comforts. We want to feel needed. We want to feel we are making a special contribution to the world. We can do this as we express the God-powers and qualities within us.

A simple prayer such as "Here I am, Lord. Use me" can negate any thought or feeling that our lives lack purpose. We are needed, important, and necessary to God and to fellow human beings.

"Give us this day our daily bread."--Matthew 6:11
