Give us this day our daily bread
Here we are praying that God would give us everything we need for life and we’re recognizing that all we have comes from Him. This part of the prayer is about trust that God will provide.
Take a piece of bread and chew it slowly, savoring it.
As you pray…
+ Give thanks to God for everything He has given to you.
+ Recognize those moments you’ve been selfish or unsatisfied with God’s gifts and ask for forgiveness.
+ Ask for a change of heart… a heart of satisfied thanksgiving for God’s gifts.

- What does Jesus mean by daily bread and why is that something for which we should pray?(Psalm 145:15-16, 1 Timothy 4:4-5)
- Why does Jesus have us say “this day” and “daily”? (Proverbs 30:8-9, Matthew 6:34)
