Give us this day our daily bread

Praying “give us this day our daily bread,” is Jesus’ invitation to a life of freedom. First, when we realize everything we have comes from, and belongs to, God, we are freed from craving the latest gadget or fashion. We can like things without having to want them. Second, trusting God’s provision for daily bread also frees us from worry about our material needs. “Give us this day our daily bread,” is a prayer that God delights to answer. Finally, God’s “daily bread” frees us for grace-filled living. We can trust God to satisfy even our deepest longings and desires. When I’m trusting God for “daily bread” I don’t have to grab, grasp, or try to manipulate and control the world around me in order to meet my needs. God will provide. 

If you missed Sunday’s message you can listen to it here. This coming weekend our series on the Lord’s Prayer continues as we consider, “lead us not into temptation.” I look forward to worshipping and learning with you!
