Psalms 10:1-18. As I undergo a time of trouble, does it seem God is hiding from me? Or have I rather been looking for him in the wrong place? Or with the wrong motive, with self-will?

I Corinthians 10:14-22. How does my day become radically different if I dedicate it to holy communion, the body and blood of Christ?
John 6:22-40. What would it look like for me to feed on Jesus, so that I need never hunger or thirst again?
