d- THE NEED FOR TRUST (of God) ... so we pray... "Give us this day our daily bread"
e- THE NEED FOR FORGIVENESS (from God)...so we pray..."And forgive us our debts..."
f- THE NEED FOR FREEDOM ... which we can only find when we forgive those who have hurt us ... so we pray ... "as we forgive our debtors"
