Give us this day our daily bread

The “daily bread” is much more than food alone.

Interestingly, the Lord’s Prayer does not give a long list of things that we think we need, in the way that we might request for our wishes to be fulfilled. The request for all that we need is summarized in the one aspect of “daily bread”.

In addition, the Lord’s Prayer gives a lot of other aspects of prayer (that we easily tend to forget).
