Thoughts: When the children of Israel were in the desert, they were dependent on God each day for Manna from heaven. Each day was a fresh batch. Jesus was teaching us that we still need to depend on God to provide for us.
This does not mean that we pray this and do not go to work. Philippians 2:12,13 says, “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling for it is God who works in you, enabling you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.” When we work, God works through us. God does not work despite us, but through usz and with us.
Jesus was praying for a daily need here- not for extras. Many times we confuse what we want with what we need.
Prayer: Lord, you are Jehovah Jireh- the Lord our Provider. Help me to trust in your provision.
