PETITION … “GIVE US THIS DAY …”
MATTHEW 6:9-15
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MODEL PRAYER THERE IS A PRAYER
OF PETITION … “GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD.”
THE BEST WAY TO UNDERSTAND THIS PHRASE IS BY ITS
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SURROUNDING PHRASES …
CONFIDENCE,
THE NAMES OF GOD:
EL SHADDAI – LORD GOD ALMIGHTY
EL ELYON – THE MOST HIGH GOD
JEHOVAH NISSI – THE LORD MY BANNER
JEHOVAH-RAAH – THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD
JEHOVAH RAPHA – THE LORD THAT HEALS
JEHOVAH SHAMMAH – THE LORD IS THERE
JEHOVAH TSIDKENU – THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS
JEHOVAH McKODDISHKEM – THE LORD WHO SANCTIFIES
JEHOVAH JIREH – THE LORD WILL PROVIDE
JEHOVAH SHALOM – THE LORD IS PEACE
JEHOVAH SABAOTH – THE LORD OF HOSTS

THE NATURE OF GOD:
JAMES 1:17, “EVERY GOOD THING GIVEN AND EVERY
PERFECT GIFT IS FROM ABOVE, COMING DOWN FROM THE
FATHER OF LIGHTS, WITH WHOM THERE IS NO VARIATION
OR SHIFTING SHADOW.”
ISA 65:24, “BEFORE THEY CALL, I WILL ANSWER; AND
WHILE THEY ARE STILL SPEAKING I WILL HEAR.”

CLARITY,

CONTRITION,
HEBREWS 5:7-9 “IN THE DAYS OF HIS FLESH, HE OFFERED
UP BOTH PRAYERS AND SUPPLICATIONS WITH LOUD CRYING
AND TEARS TO THE ONE ABLE TO SAVE HIM FROM DEATH,
AND HE WAS HEARD BECAUSE OF HIS PIETY. ALTHOUGH HE
WAS A SON, HE LEARNED OBEDIENCE FROM THE THINGS
WHICH HE SUFFERED. AND HAVING BEEN MADE PERFECT,
HE BECAME TO ALL THOSE WHO OBEY HIM THE SOURCE OF
ETERNAL SALVATION.”
