. . .Give us this day our Daily Bread . . .
True "bread" is not just food, it's Jesus Himself, and by extension His Word.
John 6:35 "And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger. . ."
Matthew 4:4 ". . .Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."

PRAYER
Let your praying be for a true sense of being heard. Do not particularly pray for feeling or for specific answers. Rather pray for the quiet confidence that you are in conversation with your Heavenly Father.

SELECTIONS FOR MEDITATION
He is the one who can tell us the reason for our existence, and our place in the scheme of things, our real identity. It is an identity we can't discover for ourselves, that others can't discover in us= the mystery of who we really are. How we have chased around the world for answers to the riddle, looked in the eyes of others for some hint, some clue, hunted in the multiple worlds of pleasure and experience and self-fulfillment for some glimpse, some revelation, some wisdom, some authority to tell us our right name and our true destination.
But there was, and is, only One who can tell us this: the Lord himself. And he wants to tell us, he has made us to know our reason for being and to be led-by it. But it is a secret he will entrust to us only when we ask, and then in his own way and his own time. He will whisper it to us not in the mad rushand fever of our striving and our fierce determination to be someone, but rather when we are content to rest in him, to put ourselves into his keeping, into his hands. Most delightfully of all, it is secret he will tell us slowly and sweetly, when we are willing to spend time with him: time with him who is beyond all time.
