“Sufficient unto the Day”

“It seems that a man ought at least to have the assurance of where his to-morrow’s meals and bed are coming from,” I exclaimed to my thoughtful friend the other morning. “This hand-to-mouth existence worries me.”
“How many days’ supplies did you ask for this morning?” queried my friend. It flashed over me like a new thing—this old request that I had been making for years,—“Give us this day our daily bread.”
“I’ve heard people say that before,” continued my thoughtful friend, “when they really thought they were saying, ‘Give us this day a respectable annuity of all the things we think we need.’”
