Praying with Paul: 'Waiting on Each Other'

1 Corinthians 11:33-34

Dear Father, giver of bread and wine,

Give each of us perfect courtesy toward others, even more, perfect love. When we come together, may we wait on each other.

May each of us satisfy our hunger at home rather than behave as gluttons in the assembly of your people!

May we come together not to be condemned, but to build each other up, and to be nourished by that bread which is life indeed, Jesus Christ.

In the name of Jesus, who is the daily bread and wine of our lives, I ask. Amen.
