Lord Jesus, you have fed us here, and now you send us out. Open our eyes to the needs of the people we will meet this week, and give us willing hands to meet them. Let each of us use the gift you have given, “as good stewards of the manifold grace of God” (1 Peter 4:10). “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16). Amen.
