Give Us Our Daily Bread

This sermon on the 4th petition of the Lord's Prayer, focuses on our dependence on God. It argues that all daily provisions, not just extraordinary miracles, are gifts from God, urging humility and gratitude. Praying for "daily bread" is an antidote to worry by trusting in God's provision, even in hardship. It emphasizes that earthly struggles are temporary, contrasting them with the eternal abundance promised in the resurrection. The sermon encourages persistent prayer, like how a cat meows to be fed every morning, and advocates living with the understanding that even the ordinary is a divine "treat," while anticipating the ultimate, eternal reward.
