'Prayer Motivator Devotional Broadcast #139 Our prayer motivator verse from the Word of God today is Colossians 1:9 which reads: “For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.” Our prayer motivator quote today is from R.F. Horton. He said, “Therefore, whether the desire for prayer is on you or not, get to your closet at the set time; shut yourself in with God; wait upon Him; seek His face; realize Him; pray.” Our prayer motivator devotional today is titled HOW TO PRAY FOR YOUR DAILY FOOD AND GET IT WITHOUT FOOD STAMPS from Dr. John R. Rice. Dr. Rice said… When Jesus taught His disciples the model prayer, He said, “When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven…Give us day by day our daily bread.” Jesus plainly commands us Christians to pray for our daily bread. And of course He meant not only bread, but all our necessary food, and other material necessities. In Mathew 6:9-13, Matthew gives the Lord’s Prayer, or the model prayer, and the request is, “Give us this day our daily bread.” Then following that in the same chapter the Saviour commanded us not to lay up for ourselves treasures on earth, and said, “Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on”, and then reminded us that our heavenly Father feeds the fowls of the air and clothes the lilies of the field. So there can be no doubt that the Saviour intended us to pray for bread and clothes and all the material blessings. All of our physical needs are matters to be taken up with our heavenly Father in trusting prayer. And when the Lord Jesus commanded us to pray for daily bread, He implied forcibly that the heavenly Father will surely grant this request. How bold we ought to be when we come to our own heavenly Father and ask Him for bread for today! How many wonderful miracles God has worked, recorded throughout the Bible, simply to give people necessary food! God gave the children of Israel manna from Heaven full forty years, six miracles a week, year in and year out, that the people simply might be fed! And God was so anxious for people to remember His willingness to give daily bread that He had the children of Israel to put a pot of the manna away to keep in the holy of holies through the centuries to remind them of God’s willing and loving providence. But the Lord cared as much for their clothes as for their food, and He saw that their garments waxed not old and that their shoes did not wear out for the forty years! And He gave them quail when they were hungry for meat. He gave them water out of a rock when they were thirsty. He made the bitter water of Marah sweet. Food, drink, clothes — these are matters to be taken up freely between a child and his father, between a Christian and his heavenly Father! God clave a hollow place in the jawbone of an ass with which Samson had killed a thousand Philistines, and there came out water that he might drink so he would not perish. God fed Elijah with ravens. Twice a day Elijah had bread and meat brought from ravens, and drank of the brook. Then God sent him to the home of a widow of Zarephath, and the handful of meal in a barrel and the bit of oil in a cruse neither wasted nor failed, but God miraculously multiplied them to feed His prophet and the widow and her son. God is definitely interested in the comfort and welfare of His people. God even sent an angel to bake a cake of bread for the discouraged Elijah and to refresh him with water.'
