Jesus's teaching on what is popularly called the Lord’s prayer, points us to a very salient issue: the need and source of our daily bread. One significant thing this teaching avails us is redirection of our minds away from thinking that our smartness, dint or hardwork, network connection or organisational acumen are responsible for the supply of our daily bread. Were it so, Jesus would never have taught his disciples to ask the Father for their daily bread.
Daily bread, when put in context, refers to much more than the food we eat to stay alive. The bible says, "God daily loads us with benefits" (Ps. 68: 19). Everything that falls within the purview of the generalised term, "benefits" qualifies to be called a daily bread. Some translations refer to this daily loads of benefits as daily bearing of our burdens. Now it makes more sense because there isn't a man who's never had burdens to bear. Reason some of us crumble under the weight of our burdens is because we've never come to terms with the fact that God is loving enough to take care of our burdens, so we bear them instead of casting them on Him (1 Pet. 5: 7).
Jesus taught his disciples the need to rely on God to carry their burdens and meet their needs. He has the capacity to supply every need (Phi. 4: 19) because He's El-Shaddai, the multi-breasted One. He has everything you need manufactured and stored up waiting for your request order. He's not going to go look for it, he has it in wait, custom-made just for you. Be it a child, a spouse, money, a job, promotion, peace, etc, just ask in faith and believe. Hallelujah.
