Sometimes what is commonly called the “The Lord’s Prayer” or “The Our Father” can become so common that we forget the depth of the truths in contains. This little phrase “give us this day our daily bread” is one example of that.
Why is this so important? It teaches us an absolute reliance on our Heavenly Father. We like to think that we can do it all ourselves and that we can take care of ourselves. We don’t tend to like to think that we need anyone.
The truth is, however, that we do. We depend on God for everything. When we pray we need to remember that everything we have is from Him. Before we can learn to depend on Him for the big things, we need to learn to depend on Him for the basics.
Give us this day our daily bread, even if it is not on our lips, must always be on our hearts.
