Our Bread

Published: Nov. 17, 2013, 10 a.m.

When my dad was healthy, I used to call him up and say, "Hey Dad, do you want to buy me lunch today?" If I didn't know my dad well, that would have been a rude request. But, because I had a relationship with him, it wasn't rude at all. I knew that he loved food and loved his son. It was a guaranteed "yes!" Jesus tells us to ask our Heavenly Father for "our daily bread." This means that, because of our relationship with the Father, we can pretty much ask for anything because He's our father. We know what's important to Him, and we know He cares about us. This Sunday, we continued to learn how to pray by taking a look at the Lord's Prayer. We've been praying about the things that are important to our Father. Now, we're going to ask Him for the things that are important to us. I love this journey that we are on together....developing a Steadfast Dependence on God. Please continue to pray the 4.4.40 prayers.
