Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread

In the greatest sermon ever preached, the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus is the teacher. If you will learn from Jesus, and do your homework, your life will be changed! And if you'll open your eyes and your heart, the Lord's Prayer will teach you!

Pastor Mike Patz continues this segment on the Lord's Prayer in the School of Jesus series highlighting, "Give us this day our daily bread."

Asking. Petitions. Laying your requests before the Lord. So often we are fearful that our prayers will not be answered, and we stop asking. But Jesus doesn't want us to be stuck there in the place of not praying.

Our Father is God and the King, and we are princes and princesses of the Most High. We are heirs and co-heirs, and He longs to partner with us. Let us live us up to the calling and position God has placed us in.

In the asking, there is attaching. This is when we become closer to the Father. In the asking, our authority is utilized, and answers can begin to be actualized! When we ask, we are inviting God into the situation. Then we surrender to Father's will.

God always answers His children's prayers, but sometimes the answer is "no". It is at that time we have to trust our Father deeply. May we become a church of good askers!
