Title: A Simple, but Complete Prayer
Give us this day our daily bread.
Matthew 6:11 KJV
Devotion: A prayer is a communication with God that demonstrate our faith in God. It shows our believe that He can do whatever we ask of Him and often time God does whatever we ask Him to do.
A very simple and important prayer is to ask God for our daily bread because that's is all that matters, once provided other things like shelter and clothing will follow. Health is assured if we eat good food and then we will have strength. If we have strength we can work and be blessed thus God would have fulfilled his promise to bless the labours of our hands. Read Deuteronomy 28:12 The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, "and to bless all the work of thine hand": and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
Any other things(wants) especially luxury things out of food, shelter and clothing are wants, God is at liberty to provide it or not because he said in Philippians 4:19 "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus". Wants are recieved by grace.
Dearly beloved, next time you pray ask God for your daily bread, and favour will locate you and make other things possible. Be blessed with your daily bread as you go out today.
Please share your testimony with us. Hallelujah
