Matthew 6:11

The fourth petition, “Give us this day our daily bread,” is not a blank check for our own desires but the practical outworking of the Lord’s Prayer. We ask our heavenly Father to provide our daily needs, not so that we might become more self-sufficient, but so that we might grow in joyful dependence upon His fatherly provision, for the hallowing of His name, the coming of His kingdom, and the glory of Christ.
