when necessary, we should give them a portion of what God has first
given to us, and thus become the means through which He supplies their
wants. [Heb. 13:16]

THIS DAY. We are not to pray for "much goods for many years," but only
for this one day's needful supply. When the morrow comes, if we are
still alive, we are to pray again. [Matt.6:34+] We are to depend upon
God from day to day. We are, indeed, to make a proper provision for our
future, but we are not to give way to anxious, unbelieving care about
it.

OUR. We ask for bread which we may call our own, bread honestly gotten,
bread which God intends we shall have as a reward of our labor; not some
one's else bread, and not such things as God, in His wisdom, sees fit to
withhold from us.

DAILY BREAD. According to Luther's explanation in the Catechism, our
daily bread includes

ALL THINGS WHICH PERTAIN TO THE WANTS AND THE SUPPORT OF THIS PRESENT
LIFE; such as:--

FOOD, RAIMENT, to supply our bodily wants;

MONEY, GOODS, HOUSE AND LAND, AND OTHER PROPERTY, by means of which we
may procure the supply of our bodily wants;

A BELIEVING SPOUSE AND GOOD CHILDREN, that we may have a good Christian
home;
