Morning Prayer: Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread
Jesus Christ taught His disciples to ask for daily bread from the Father. Not weekly bread or monthly bread, but daily bread.
This does not only show us that the Father longs to have fellowship with us daily, but it also tells us that He is a responsible Father, who wants to sustain us daily, as we depend on Him.
Let Us Pray
My precious Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, this beautiful morning I come with a heart of thanksgiving before You. I thank You for reconciling me back to the Father through Your death and giving me confidence to stand unashamedly before the throne of God.
My Father and my God, thank You for being my Provider. You have provided for my family yesterday, please come and do it again today.
Give us this day our daily bread, as we lean on and depend on You. We are trusting You for daily provision even when things are not so smooth.
Yes, sometimes finances are dry. Sometimes we can’t afford to pay our bills. But Your Word says that the righteous person will never beg for bread nor be forsaken.
Psalms 37:25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
Father, Your Word says that we should not worry about what we are going to eat or to drink or to wear, for You provide for all living organisms: You give daily food to the birds of the air which have no barns, and you clothe the flowers of the field.
Heavenly Father, You said we are much more valuable than they. So we wait for Your provision today again. Provide for us. Bless us this day. We lay all our needs before You. We leave them in your loving care. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
Matthew 6:26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
Matthew 6:28-31 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you —you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ’What shall we eat?’ or ’What shall we drink?’ or ’What shall we wear?’
