Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread (Matthew 6:9-11).

Frankly, this verse bugs me.

I know…I know!

But really—why couldn’t Jesus have told us to pray for our yearly bread?  It would have cut down on the uncertainty, the stress

the trust

the faith.

Sometimes I feel like one of the wandering Israelites, wondering each day if the manna would be there.

Of course…it was.

Every day.

Chew on that today, Beloved.

Pun intended.
