Day 21 | Daily Dependence


 

9/1/2018

Jesus didn’t teach us to pray, “Give us this day our weekly bread… or our monthly bread… or enough bread for a lifetime.” He taught us to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread,” because God wants you to depend on him one day at a time. If God met all your needs all at once, you wouldn’t need to trust him anymore. In fact, you might never talk to him again. So Jesus told us to ask for what we need just for today, and not to worry about tomorrow.

 

 
 
Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
 
Matthew 6:34 (NIV)
 
 

 

REFLECT

 

What did you hear?
What did God say to you as you read today's Bible passage? What word or phrase was most meaningful to you?
 

 

What do you think?
What does this passage mean to you? How does it apply to your life?
 

 

What is your prayer?
This is where you turn your thoughts into prayer. It could be a prayer of gratitude or praise. It could be a prayer of confession or a request for God's help. It's up to you. But take a minute to write a prayer of response to God.
