Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread (4 of 7)
Series: The Lord's Prayer
Lenny Ports
Matthew 6:9-13

We are in a study on the Lord's prayer. Let's read it together:

Matthew 6:9 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. 10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. 13 And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

This week, we will be talking about what it means when we PRAY, ''Give us this day our daily bread.''

Listen: He has it, it's yours, just ask for it. MEETING NEEDS is one of His specialties! After all, His name is THE LORD, OUR PROVIDER (Jehovah Jireh). If it is His name, it is His nature, His character and His attribute to be a provider. The name Jehovah Jireh scripturally comes from the story of Abraham who is the father of the faith:

Genesis12:1 Now the Lord had said to Abram: ''Get out of your country, From your family And from ...
