Many times when I pray, “Give us this day our daily bread,” my first thought is that God has already provided it and in most cases provided it abundantly. I feel like I should be saying, “Thank you for daily bread” instead. I would do well to remember the “us” in the petition. I am not only asking bread for myself, but for others and because God usually does exceedingly more than we ask, He is probably providing for some family in Africa I do not know in response to my request. Whether asking or thanking we are never in a better position than when we are looking to God.
“When you pray say…Give us this day our daily bread.” Jesus “Conversations Within” ts 4/6/2017
