I\u2019ve been doing quite a bit of thinking about the Lord\u2019s Prayer the last couple weeks. Mostly about how there\u2019s so little in there about asking God for what we want. I do that a lot \u2026 God, please keep us safe \u2026 help us figure out where to stay tonight \u2026 help us find a parking spot\u2026. And I still believe I should ask God for what I need rather than worry myself silly about it.<\/p>\n
But how much trust would I have in God if I were able to ask him to supply my needs for the day (AKA \u201cGive us this day our daily bread\u201d) and just leave it at that. <\/p>\n
When you think of it, that\u2019s the main request in the Lord\u2019s prayer \u2026 the first part is about acknowledging God as Father and that His plan for the planet and our lives is best. Then the asking part \u2026 daily bread (what we need). The rest is about helping us do what God has asked: forgive the people who have hurt us and pass up temptations.<\/p>\n
I wish I had that kind of trust \u2013 that God knows what I need and that He\u2019ll give it to me when I need it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
