Lord, as in the time of the judges, we live in a land of famine. People are starving spiritually.
There are so many like Naomi who feel bitter. Who feel that your hand has turned against them. That you have opposed and afflicted them.
My Shepherd, visit your people. Give to them your Bread of Life. Show your kindness to them. In your grace, save them. Grant them rest, Lord, not in the things of this world, but in you.
And as you used Ruth to show grace and mercy to Naomi, use me to touch those hurting around me. In Jesus’ name, amen.
