Give Us this Day
Matthew 6:11, 35-34
Praying Like Jesus
How can we grow generous hearts when we are
consumed with anxiety about our wants and needs?
Simply ask God daily for your daily
needs
Matthew
6:11 (ESV)
11 Give us this day our daily bread,
Live with open hands
Matthew
6:19–24 (ESV)
19 “Do not lay up for
yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves
break in and steal,
20 but lay up for
yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where
thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will
be also.
22 “The eye is the lamp
of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, 23 but if your eye is
bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is
darkness, how great is the darkness!
24 “No one can serve two
masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be
devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.
Put first things first
Matthew
6:25–34 (ESV)
25 “Therefore I tell you,
do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink,
nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the
body more than clothing?
26 Look at the birds of
the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly
Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by
being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? 28 And why are you
anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they
neither toil nor spin,
29 yet I tell you, even
Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes
the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the
oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be
anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall
we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek
after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the
kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to
you .
34 “Therefore do not be
anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for
the day is its own trouble.
