Heavenly Father,
you see how your children hunger for food,
and fellowship, and faith.
Help us to meet one another’s needs of body, mind and spirit,
in the love of Christ our Saviour.

O God, giver of life and health,
your Son Jesus Christ has called us
to hunger and thirst to see right prevail;
refresh us with your grace
that we may not be wary of well-doing;
for the sake of him who meets all our needs,
our Saviour Jesus Christ.

God of the hungry, make us hunger and thirst for the right,
till our thirst for justice has been satisfied
and hunger has gone from the earth.

The above prayer was taken from the fourth Sunday of Lent in the 1997 edition of the New Zealand Prayer Book – He Karakia Mihinare o Aotearoa.
