From Bro. Dave Evans
”Give us this day our daily bread.” (Matthew 6:11) Our verse is part of what some scholars call the “Lord’s Prayer,” some call it the “Model Prayer.” Jesus did say, “After this manner therefore pray ye.” Every time I read that prayer it gets me, especially verse 11. Just seven words but I find myself wondering, do I ask for too much? Do we ask for too much? I reminded we are often focused more on the asking. I mean we ask and we ask and we ask. Are we more focused on the getting than the Giver? Do we make the mistake of asking for too much bread? I read of a wise man who prayed this simple prayer. “Dear God, Your will, nothing more, nothing less, nothing else. In Jesus Name Amen.” Lest we forget praying really isn’t about you or me, it is about God! Still our loving Heavenly Father tells us to make our petitions known. “Sweet hour of prayer, Sweet hour of prayer, that call me from a world of care and bids at my Father’s throne make all my wants and wishes know! In season of distress and grief, my soul has often found relief, and oft escaped the tempters snare by Thy return sweet hour of prayer.” Praying you all have a blessed Friday!
