PRAYER as a Way of Life by Sis. Cristy and
Bro. Rolly Custodio
HOW TO PRAY (PART-02)
‘Give us this day our daily bread.’ Matthew 6:11 NKJV
Today’s Devotion
Jesus taught us to pray, ‘Give us this day our daily bread.’ Notice the
word ‘daily.’ You can’t fight today’s battles on the strength of yesterday’s
bread; you must have a fresh supply. In the wilderness God’s people were only
permitted to collect enough manna for one day; if they tried to collect more it
rotted. It’s wonderful to talk about what God did yesterday and what He’s going
to do tomorrow, but all you’ve got is today. ‘Give us this day our daily
bread.’ Only as you partake of what God’s provided for you today will you be
able to stand up to the challenges you face.
This prayer is an expression of faith. The very fact that you ask means
you believe God’s got what you need and that He cares enough to provide for
you. It says, ‘I don’t need to go to anybody else but You, Lord.’ So hang up
the phone, turn off the TV, shut the door, get down on your knees, approach God
in faith and pray, ‘Give me what I need for this day.’ God knows what you need,
you don’t! As you partake of what He provides for you each day you’ll be able
to handle whatever life throws at you.
And one more thought. When people start getting on your nerves for no
apparent reason or you start having all sorts of mood swings or you begin
living by feelings instead of faith it’s probably because you’re not eating
right. If that’s so, it’s time to go back to your source and say, ‘Lord, I’ve
come for my daily bread.’
Parallel Verses: 2 Sam 7:18 -
11:27, Luke 10:1-12, Ps 78:1-8, Pr 16:23-24
Application:
Lord starting today, I want to pray consistently and get my daily
bread from your Word. Lord, I will rely on your Word every day and whatever
happens to me Lord I will chose to follow and believe you and your Word are the
only source to be used as my weapons to resist every temptation and schemes of
the devil that I will be able to win the fight in life for today.
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, Thank you
for your Word today. Lord thank you for teaching me to focus on prayer just for
today. Lord strengthens me to put my hope in your and in your Word and chose to
be intimate with your on daily basis. Lord our life is very busy but Lord touch
my heart to love you and to add more time by talking and being with you. Lord
empowers me to pray always without interruptions so that my soul will always be
refreshed and ready to face any battles that will take any time for the day for
your glory In Jesus’ Name. Amen!
Prayer for Salvation
Lord
I admit I am a sinner I repent of all my sins and I receive you into my heart
as my personal Lord and Savior Amen. If you mean that prayer above from the
bottom of your heart you are now saved. It is God’s Word promise in John 3:16 that
if you trust His Son Jesus you will not die but you will have Eternal Life.
