I Am the Bread of Life
John 6:35
Lord Jesus, You are the bread of life. The hunger I keep feeding with everything else — I bring it to You. Fill me tonight, and let me stop starving at a full table. Amen.

Seven times in John’s Gospel Jesus says “I am”: the bread of life, the light of the world, the door, the good shepherd, the resurrection and the life, the way and the truth and the life, the true vine. Each is a claim about who He is, and each is an invitation.
These prayers take Jesus’ own words and pray them back to Him, one saying at a time.
