Daily Bread

We are going to read the daily prayer Jesus told us to pray.

Matthew 6:9–13 ESV

9 Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. 10 Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread, 12 and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Hallowed = holy, separate from, Most Holy.

Daily = for tomorrow or for what is immediately next.

This is the only time this word daily is used in the bible.

Dad is talking about the leaf today.

We are in a season of the leaf not the session of fruit.

Bread = ?

What does Jesus mean by this bread?

Bread = Littoral food, food for your body to live and thrive.

Bread of Presence was twelve loaves of bread behind the curtain of the temple. They were only for the priests.

Bread of Presence = Presence of God, food for your spirit to thrive.

Saul around the prophets came alive.

The disciples seeing and experiencing the healings of Jesus and their time with Jesus.

Bread = word of God, food for your soul to thrive.

Like in the temptation of Jesus.

Bread = doing the will of God.

When you put into actions what God has given you to use it feeds all three, your body, soul and spirit.

This is a bread that you become for others. You are His body broken for those in need.

When you encourage someone you become that bread for others.

One of the reasons that Jesus tells them to pray like this daily is so you want live your life desperate.

If you are hungry in any of those parts of you, you will look to fill those places rather than become a blessing to others.

I personally think it is an all inclusive phrase to cover all we need for what is immediately to follow.

Bread that feeds your body.

Bread that feeds your spirit

Bread that feeds your soul

and bread that you become to feed others.

I want to pray for some people today on here.

Depression.

A Pain in your right forearm.

Fear, and anxiety.

Closing:

Jesus wants us to live full of life each day.

If we live each day full of life, we won't live to fill up our needs.

We instead will live to be that bread of life to others.

This Weeks Challenge:

Ask Jesus for the grace for today.

Ask Jesus to show you who to send a message to and pray for this week.

Pray the prayer Jesus told us to pray every day this week.
