We may very well wonder, that if God is our Father, doesn’t a good father provide what is needed for his children without their asking? Well, the fact that we have air to breathe is a good indication that He often does. But the point is that Jesus still encourages us to ask and to ask daily. When He told us to ask for bread, and, to ask for it every day, He is telling us that our need is as much in the asking, as it is in what we are asking for.
