“Give us this day our daily bread.”
Lesson Six of Teach Us to Pray deals with a subject dear to all of us: food! “Give us this day our daily bread” is a prayer that seems pretty straightforward. Even simple. A child could pray this prayer and because his little tummy is rumbling, pray with earnestness and understanding! “Dear God, I’m hungry, I want to eat.”
But when we add “give us this day our daily bread” to other teachings of Jesus about how we should view all our material needs, including how we view money, we begin to realize there is a lot more going on in that seven-word prayer than meets the eye.
So, what does Jesus have to say about our rumbling tummies and food to fill them, about the money we tend to call “my money,” and how we use it, and what our attitudes and actions should be toward all these things material?
Well now, in lesson six of Teach Us to Pray—Learning to pray from the Lord’s prayer and teachings of Jesus, we will dig into the Scriptures to find out what Jesus has to say about these things that are so dear and near to us.
