Jesus teaches us to pray, "Give us today our daily bread." This part of the Lord’s Prayer is a reminder of our dependence on God for everything we need.
The phrase "daily bread" connects back to Exodus 16, where God provided manna for the Israelites one day at a time. They couldn’t store extra for tomorrow—God wanted them to trust Him each day.
In our world, it’s easy to place our security in money, jobs, or material things, but Jesus calls us to rely on God as our provider. This doesn’t mean we don’t work or plan, but it does mean we trust that He will sustain us.
"Give us today our daily bread" also reminds us that we are part of a community. The word "us" shows that we should not only seek God’s provision for ourselves but also be generous in helping others who are in need.
When we worry about the future, we are forgetting that God is faithful today. Will you trust Him with your needs, one day at a time?
Journal Prompt:
