"... Lord, feed me with food convenient for me." (Prov: 30:8b) People are choicy, they want the things they want. They may not need a thrill; they may need a pill! A child can't diagnose his need; the wise parent has to feed him. "... Lord feed me with food convenient, (or even better) food which is my allotment, or my portion." When we pray that, we take our hands off the table, and put them under it! (I am very polite; my hands are under the table!) Sometimes He gives us a portion we don't like, but it will do us good. Cultivate your appetite.
The children of Israel, in the wilderness, "gathered Manna, every man according to his eating" -- his capacity. (Ex. 16:18) How much have you gathered this day; enough to slake your hunger? There is enough for the thimble capacity, and the dishpan capacity. It is readily available; close at hand; at your tent door. Some of you are looking for Manna without a night.
It comes to my "dust" (my humanity).

John Follette (1883 - 1966)
Follette was a gifted Bible teacher and author, who had both perspective and spiritual depth in his interpretation of the Word. He was an illuminated spirit in the field of spiritual reality, and had an unusual ability to impart “spirit and life” into those who sat under his ministry.He received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit in 1913 while a student at a Bible School in Rochester, New York, and later became a teacher there until the school closed. He also taught for many years at Southern California Bible College. During the later years of his life, he was called into a wider field, ministering in conferences and retreats which took him around the world. He passed into his eternal reward in 1966 at the age of 82.
