This, then, is how you should pray: 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Matthew 6:9-11
I have always talked about trusting God for our daily bread in terms of our physical needs, our daily resources, or how we ought to be fed through the daily study of His Word. But, on our current journey, daily bread has come to represent things like patience, a calming of fear and anxiety, and a general increase of strength.
Most of us, at some point in our life, will find ourselves entering a severe trial completely unprepared. Perhaps you are even in the middle of a trial right now and are feeling completely overwhelmed, unable to see how you will make it to the end. The promise of God is not that He will remove the trial, but that He will walk with us and comfort us every step of the way.
We don't have to know how we will navigate through all the obstacles ahead, or how the journey will even end; we simply need to face the current day and trust Him with all our heart. Though what we face may be difficult, let's hold tight and remember His love. Let's pray and always trust His promise to provide us with our daily strength.
