Daily Bread (traditional)

📖 Matthew 6:11 (NASB 1995):

"Give us this day our daily bread."

🔍 Context – The Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9–13):

This verse is part of the Lord’s Prayer, where Jesus is teaching His disciples how to pray. The full prayer is a model, not necessarily a script to repeat word-for-word (though many do), but a framework showing what kind of heart and priorities we should have in prayer.

Here’s the flow of the prayer:

1. Worship – “Our Father… hallowed be Your name.”

2. Surrender – “Your kingdom come, Your will be done…”

3. Dependence – “Give us this day our daily bread…”

4. Forgiveness – “Forgive us our debts…”

5. Guidance & protection – “Lead us not into temptation…”

🍞 Meaning of Matthew 6:11 – "Daily Bread"

1. Physical Needs

“Bread” refers to basic sustenance—food, water, shelter, the essentials of life.
Jesus is teaching us to trust God each day for our daily provision, just as the Israelites relied on manna in the wilderness, given one day at a time (Exodus 16).

This reflects a life of faith, not worry (see Matthew 6:25–34, same chapter).

2. Spiritual Sustenance

Many also interpret “daily bread” as symbolic of spiritual nourishment—just as Jesus said:

“Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4)

And Jesus Himself is the Bread of Life (John 6:35).

So, we're also asking:
➡️ “Lord, feed my soul. Teach me. Satisfy me spiritually.”
