Daily Bread
Everyone has to eat. It's a fact of life. If we don't eat for long periods of time, or don't eat properly, it has significant impact on our health and well being. But as Jesus taught his disciples to pray for their "daily bread," he was showing them that it's much deeper than simply having bread to eat. This is a prayer of trust and dependence. This is a prayer asking the Lord to provide. Jesus was showing the disciples how to look to God first, and not their own wisdom, resources and abilities. Jesus reminded the disciples, and is reminding us today, that the Lord will provide - even if it's in unexpected ways.
