This is the fourth article in a seven part series on the Lord's Prayer. When we pray the fourth petition, "Give us our daily bread", we affirm our dependence on God and acknowledge that we deserve nothing. At the same time we express our longing for the Bread of Life - Christ Himself.

Why is the prayer for our daily bread important? It reminds us that we are sinners, God is good and gracious, and we have future hope.

This article offers concrete suggestions for praying through the second half of the Lord's Prayer.
