Yesterday we prayed using the first verse of The Lord’s Prayer. The
disciples of Jesus Christ came to Him asking that He taught them how to pray. We
saw that we should always start prayer by giving glory to God.
Exposition
Give us – Asking God for bread acknowledges that you are dependent on Him.
Saying us rather than me means you are also praying for the needy.
day by day - Asking God day by
day shows you are learning patience and moderation. Asking God day by day shows
continued dependence on God as children are dependent on their parents for all
that they need. As God provides for those who ask Him day by day so should we be
reminded that we have a responsibility to go out and provide for those who are
dependent on us.
our daily bread – Bread includes everything that is needed to sustain you in life.
Psalm 81:10 says open your mouth
wide and I will fill it. You are free to ask your Father for anything and
everything.
Prayer
I bless you my Father and my God. You are beautiful
beyond description; you are too marvellous for words and too wonderful for
comprehension
I come to you this day that you bless me, let
me meet with favour in all my undertakings. Help me so I can provide for my
family. I ask on behalf of the homeless and hungry, that you make way for them
today in Jesus name. Amen
