Listening for Daily Bread

Give us this day our daily bread.

Thoughts: This is a lesson for us to listen to God as the giver.  Our hands are up and out to the One whose Hand brings us life.  This is a listening posture- hands up and out.  This is a daily need.
     We need to pray daily for daily bread.  We need to daily thank Him for the gifts He provides.
One of those gifts is a Word from Him.  He (Jesus) is the bread of life- the bread of heaven (Jn. 6:35). He is nourishment for our eternal soul- sent down from heaven to earth for us.  As we open our mouth to receive bread, we should open our hearts to receive the bread of life.  Let us listen to the Bread of life ask us to ask- "Give us this day our daily bread."

Prayer: Lord, give me more of yourself. Give me yourself daily.  Let me ever ask for more of you.
