Matthew 15-17

Matthew 15: 34-38
And Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, "Seven, and a few small fish."  And directing the crowd to sit down on the ground, he took the seven loaves and the fish, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.  And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces left over.  Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

Jesus gave thanks for the bread and fish that they had.  He did not ask for more.  Perhaps what we need is not more, but to be thankful for that which we already have.
