Daily Bread

 Matt. 6:11

Give us this day our daily bread.

Give us this day Jesus. He is the bread of life that will be what we need for today. We are not able to make it without Him. Without the bread, we become weak and our strength is diminished. Energy to carry on is made possible because he provides for us what we need. And, our Father knows what we need before we even ask. Daily we need His help no matter how long we have served Him. The longer we serve Him, the more we realize how much we need Him. 

“There are no self-made believers in Jesus, and we’ll never graduate from His grace.”

Hallow His Name

Mat. 6:9-13 “Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the Kingdom, and the power and the glory for ever. Amen.”- 

What does it mean to pray? We are often caught up in the eloquence of words as we try communicate our thoughts to God. As if our flowering words have more meaning, we rattle on just speaking words without really  taking thought of their meaning. The simplicity of prayer comes from the heart and often is spoken in just a few words. This is especially true for those who have learned the vocabulary of scripture. Words have meaning, and if spoken from the heart, they speak volumes. The power of the prayer that the Lord taught His disciples is but only one examples of the impact of few words spoken, but packed with a powerful message of submission to God and forgiveness of others. Let us take time to “hallow His Name”.
