The Lord's Prayer

“GIVE us this day our daily bread.” Memory Verse: Rom. 8:32.
This prayer acknowledges our dependence upon God day by day.
Trace the development of a loaf of bread from the planting of the seed containing the life-germ placed there by God's hand, in God's earth, and nourished by his sunshine and rain, through the various stages,—growing grain, wheat kernels, flour, bread.
How appropriate this prayer when “only one summer-blessing of God stands between the world and starvation.”
In this prayer we recognize the Father's loving care for the creatures he has made:— 1. He provides food, drink, clothing. Matt. 6:25-30. 2. He sends rain, sunshine, snow, and wind. Ps. 147:8, 16, 18. 3. The world is fed directly from God's resources. Ps. 104:27, 28.
Miracles have been wrought to give bread to those who needed it. 1 Kings 17:1-6; Matt. 14:15-21; Ex. 16:14, 15.
Promises to the righteous. Isa. 33:16; Ps. 37:19. (See “Early Writings,” page 56.)
Christ, the Bread of Life. John 6:31-35, 49, 50.
