How Jesus taught us to pray- Lord’s Prayer part 4


Give us this day our daily bread; (Matthew 6:11 MKJV)

In Matthew 6:10 (given above in italics) Jesus is confessing that He is dependent on God. This is how He taught His followers to pray- we should also confess that we are dependent on God. Why is it important to confess that we are dependent on God? The following verse can give us a glimpse why it is important:

Every good and true thing is given to us from heaven, coming from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change or any shade made by turning. (James 1:17 BBE)

The human race may think that they are self-sufficient or self-reliant, but that’s not the Biblical view! Every good thing comes from God! We should acknowledge that God is providing for us in our everyday needs. That is what Jesus is trying to teach His followers.

=> We can pray to God about our everyday needs!

Share your thoughts on how God provided for you!

Till next time.
