If ‘daily bread’ represents our essential needs on a day to day basis, what place is there to be asking God for anything more than this. Doesn’t Jesus also encourage us to ask for ‘anything’? Doesn’t the bible teach us that God will give us the ‘desired of our heart”?

Send us a text Touching again on the communal aspect of the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus teaches us to pray “give US today”, not “give ME today”.
