Are you praying for your “Daily Bread?”

One of the main reasons we pray happens to be for God to meet our needs. In Matthew, Chapter 6, it confirms that God is concerned about our daily needs. However, He asks that we seek His kingdom first, and then all of “these things” shall be added. These things are shelter, food, health, finances, relationships, etc. The Lord Jesus instructed us in the Lord’s Prayer that it is God’s will for us to seek Him concerning our needs. He loves to commune with us daily and provide us with strategies, divine connections, angelic ministry and divine interventions on our behalf. Our Heavenly Father wants to be active in our lives. This is why Jesus told us to pray every day, and in that prayer, we are to bring up our daily needs. This speaks of a covenant relationship between father and child. Be encouraged today. He hears your prayers, and He is present today to minister to you as your Heavenly Father!

Matthew 6:11 – Give us this day our daily bread.

We are kingdom citizens!

In Matthew 6:10, the Lord Jesus taught us to pray that His kingdom would come. When one speaks of a kingdom, by necessity one needs to understand that there is a King that rules over that kingdom. There are also princes and princesses. The kingdom also has citizens who live in that kingdom. The Lord Jesus is the King of this kingdom. He preached the gospel of the kingdom of God (Mark 1:14). He instructed us to seek the kingdom of God and its righteousness first (Matthew 6:33), and the King would provide for our every need. When we seek the kingdom of God, we walk in righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost (Romans 14:17). We walk in power (1 Corinthians 4:20). There is healing and deliverance in this kingdom (Luke 9:11, 10:9, 11:20). Only the righteous can be citizens of this kingdom. We have to receive the kingdom as children (Mark 10:15). Children trust their parents implicitly, and we have to trust our King in the same manner. And in this kingdom, we are a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9). King Jesus wants you to remember that every day when you pray!

Matthew 6:10 – Your kingdom come. your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
