Luke 11:3 3 Give us each day our daily bread.
Now comes the place in the Lord's Prayer where most of us start our prayers: asking for what we need. Actually, most of us are asking for what we want - not what we need. But now is the time to ask - after we have focused in on who God is and who we are in relationship to God - after we have offered God praise - and after we have considered how the Kingdom of God might reign in our lives this day. Now is the time to ask.
It is interesting to me - that the focus is on daily needs too. Not the long term ones. And even more interesting is that it isn't just a personal request - it says "give us" - it is a request that everyone will be fed - that everyone's daily needs will be met
What should you be asking God for today? And how is that informed by the earlier parts of the Lord's Prayer?
