FOUR THINGS that this prayer/petition will do for us:

2. Deepen Our Compassion - “Us & Our”
3. Affirm God’s Faithfulness for Today - “This Day”
* Therefore, I tell you do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink nor about your body, what you will put on. Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet, your Heavenly Father feeds them (Matt 6:25-26).
4. Grow Our Gratitude - “Daily Bread”
HEART OF THE MATTER (Bread of Life)
* Like so many other things in the Bible, the physical is just a shadow of the real
* John 6:32-35 - Jesus is the bread of life, the true manna sent from heaven, God’s ultimate provision for our lives. We need bread daily to live, but we need Christ daily to truly live.
* We need His life in us. We need to pick our crosses daily and follow Him (Luke 9:23)
* Jesus is our true “daily bread.”
