Chapter 7: Praying for Daily Needs
Experiencing Prayer with Jesus
Jesus knew that the Father is committed to meeting His people's daily needs, and our Savior's teaching helps us recognize that our basic needs aren't met through our own efforts, but as a gift from God.
To fail to ask Him for this provision not only denies Him the opportunity to supply it, but also to receive the honor and thanksgiving for providing it.
We often fail to recognize that our God is watching over us every day and cares for our most basic needs.
Our need for forgiveness is a daily need, and this too is highlighted in the pattern for prayer that Jesus taught His disciples.
There is a vital connection between prayer and forgiveness.
God's forgiveness towards us in our daily lives depends on our willingness to extend forgiveness to others.
