“For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God who said ‘Let light shine out of darkness’, has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” II Corinthians 4:5-6

The Lord's Prayer


At Shell Creek we have been going through the Lord’s Prayer for Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting. This week we are looking at the phrase,

“Give us this day our daily bread”

Here are some of the questions I’ve come up with to ask the group:

1. 24,000 people starve to death every single day. What are your thoughts of that number in light of Matthew 6:11?

2. Is Jesus speaking of physical bread, spiritual bread, or both? Why or Why not?

3. What are some other daily needs that Christians have, besides bread for the stomach?

4. Is there a spiritual connection to physical needs?


Thoughts? Is Jesus speaking of physical or spiritual bread? Does it matter and why or why not?

  1. There certainly is a lot to think about in that one phrase. You may be unpacking it for quite a bit.
