PRAYER: FAITH

“Give us this day our daily bread.”
Matthew 6:11

God provides and by asking we are expressing our faith and trust in Him.  

Faith is such a big part of prayer – He does not give us everything we ask for,

but He gives us everything we need.  He gives us earthly nourishment,

“bread,” and also the “bread of life,” God’s Word, for subsistence and growth

of body and spirit and it is given “daily” so that we will continue to rely on

Him to provide.  

Jesus Christ taught that our physical and spiritual well-being comes from

God and it is essential for us to acknowledge that in prayer. Even when we

work to provide, the ability to do that work comes from our Father.  Life

relies on the Creator and we are simply stewards of that gift.
