'Give us this day our daily bread.' Matthew 6:11
Jesus taught us to pray, 'Give us this day our daily bread.' Notice the word 'daily.' You can't fight today's battles on the strength of yesterday's bread; you must have a fresh supply. In the wilderness God's people were only permitted to collect enough manna for one day; if they tried to collect more it rotted. It's wonderful to talk about what God did yesterday and what He's going to do tomorrow, but all you've got is today. 'Give us this day our daily bread.' Only as you partake of what God's provided for you today will you be able to stand up to the challenges you face.
This prayer is an expression of faith. The very fact that you ask means you believe God's got what you need and that He cares enough to provide for you. It says, 'I don't need to go to anybody else but You, Lord.' So hang up the phone, turn off the TV, shut the door, get down on your knees, approach God in faith and pray, 'Give me what I need for this day.' God knows what you need, you don't!
As you partake of what He provides for you each day you'll be able to handle whatever life throws at you. And one more thought. When people start getting on your nerves for no apparent reason or you start having all sorts of mood swings or you begin living by feelings instead of faith it's probably because you're not eating right. If that's so, it's time to go back to your source and say, 'Lord, I've come for my daily bread.'
