Series: The Lord's Prayer
Bread for the Day
Asking for what we need today, and no more.
In the middle of the Lord’s Prayer is a short request about bread. It is a prayer for today, not for the next ten years.
Three things to take home
- Asking for daily bread admits that we depend on God and on each other.
- It is also a prayer for people who do not have enough. We do not get to pray it for ourselves only.
- Trusting for today frees us from carrying tomorrow all at once.
Questions for a small group
- What is one thing you are carrying that belongs to tomorrow?
- How can our food pantry shelves answer this prayer for someone this week?
