Let Your Soul Delight Itself In Abundance

Why do you spend money for what is not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
And let your soul delight itself in abundance.

—Isaiah 55:2 (NKJV)

Heavenly Father,

Help me not to spend my money and my time chasing after that which does not satisfy the hunger of my soul—when You have invited me to let my soul freely delight in the abundance that You have prepared for me.

Help me to listen carefully and expectantly to You—as You speak to me through Your Word and by Your Spirit—that I would not only hear what You would say, but also apply Your Truth to my life by faith.

For only then can I both receive the promise of everlasting life, and fully live now in the abundance of peace and joy, provision and strength, and protection and safety that You provide in this life for those that follow You.

Make my life so much more than what I consume with my physical body—and help me to feed my spirit on Your Truth and Grace—for only then will the deepest longings of my soul be satisfied in abundance.

Help me not to spend my money and my time chasing after that which does not satisfy the hunger of my soul—when You have invited me to let my soul freely delight in the abundance that You have prepared for me.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
