The Model Prayer: Our Daily Bread |
|
Jesus takes our physical needs seriously. In the Model Prayer He teaches us to look to our heavenly Father to supply our immediate needs. Jesus encourages us to continually depend on God for all the essentials in our daily life. Whatever is necessary to sustain life is what we are to request.
The second half of the prayer moves from God's holy name, God's kingdom and God's will to the provision of our personal needs in vv. 11-13. Jesus tells us to pray for life's necessities, forgiveness of sins, and deliverance from temptation and evil.
“Give us today our daily bread” (v. 11). God wants us to pray for whatever we need to sustain our physical lives including food.
