Daily Prayer for Today 17th October 2022 MESSAGE

Smack dab in the middle of the Lord’s prayer found in Matthew 6 and Luke 11, Jesus is teaching his followers how to pray. After He has blessed the name of God the Father and shared his desire for the Lord’s kingdom to come and will to be done, we find a few short yet powerful words: give us this day our daily bread. What about those with gluten allergies? No, this is not literal bread but spiritual bread from heaven. It is a phrase that is emphasizing relying on God’s provision each day.

We are still called to this lifestyle of a follower of Jesus today. We are to be reliant on the Lord to meet our daily needs. We praise Him, we do our part in being faithful in our work, and we trust in Him to care for us. One of Jesus’ I Am statements found in John 6:35 is when Jesus claimed to be the Bread of Life. In fact, the town of Bethlehem (Where Jesus was born) literally translates to mean “House of Bread.” Jesus is the fulfillment of our greatest need for salvation and hope. He has already met every need. Philippians 4:19 says, “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”
