  • Matthew 6:9

    Pray then like this:

    "Our Father in heaven,

    hallowed by your name.

    Your kingdom come

    Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

    Give us this day our daily bread,"

  • What does bread represent in this request?

  • What limitation does the word daily (probably meaning ‘for the coming day’) bring to this request?

  • How often does Jesus instruct us to make this request?

  • What might Jesus want us to learn through daily prayer for our daily needs?

  • Spend a few minutes praying through the first four requests of the Lord’s Prayer.

  • Jesus on Prayer - Day 9

    <br />Give us our Daily Bread

  • In this meditation we have seen that Jesus calls us to pray daily for our needs. It shows us that we are dependent creatures who have to rely upon God's provision.


    In the next meditation, we will look at the fifth petition of the Lord's Prayer.


    Until then may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
