Mark 6:30-46
30 The apostles returned to Jesus and told him all that they had done and taught.
31 And he said to them, "Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while."
For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat.
32 And they went away in the boat to a desolate place by themselves. 33 Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them.
34 When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd.
And he began to teach them many things. 35 And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, "This is a desolate place, and the hour is now late. 36 Send them away to go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat."
37 But he answered them, "You give them something to eat."
And they said to him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat?"
38 And he said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go and see."
And when they had found out, they said, "Five, and two fish."
39 Then he commanded them all to sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties. 41 And taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven and said a blessing and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the people. And he divided the two fish among them all. 42 And they all ate and were satisfied.
43 And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish. 44 And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.
45 Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. 46 And after he had taken leave of them, he went up on the mountain to pray.
Jesus is worn out. He has not even had time to eat.
And instead of putting Himself as God first - Jesus feeds the multitudes and us for millenniums.
With a very important detail. As soon as Jesus has Abundantly fed His Beloved - Jesus departs to rest.
Our Jesus has taken the Holy Spirit from Abiding above the waters and placing the Holy Spirit in believers. Our Jesus will come again. And He has given us His open heart, open ear, open 12 Gates of Heaven - always here - Prayer Policy.
Because we know Jesus is God - we have a place to rest our cares and our heart. Comfortably and with faith.
Father God, our Abba,
We ask Your Blessing as we pray. This day and always.
You have shown us the immeasurable riches of Your grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
By grace we are saved through faith. The gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 1
Help us to stay where You would have us. With Your Love, guidance, encouragement and protection that we should walk in Your Plan, Path and Good Works.
Putting our prayers together for our deepest needs and longings before our Father.
Having access in one Spirit to the Father. With the saints and members of the household of God, Christ Jesus himself being the our rock and foundation.
In Your Love, the whole structure, our prayers, the communion of Saints, grow into The Holy Temple of our Lord Father Almighty.
Praying in the Holy Spirit for the people we Love, our souls - a dwelling place for God in the Spirit.
Come Holy Spirit in Jesus Christ our God. Amen.
