Prayer for Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread

Our Father in Heaven,
Give us this day our daily bread.

You are Jehovah Jireh—our Provider.
You know what I need even before I ask (Matthew 6:8),
yet You invite me to come, to trust, to ask with childlike faith.
So today, Lord, I come to You,
not in anxiety, but in dependence.
Not in fear, but in faith.

Give me this day the bread I need—
not only food for the body,
but sustenance for the soul.

Provide what is necessary for today—
enough grace for today’s challenges,
enough peace for today’s storms,
enough wisdom for today’s decisions,
enough strength for today’s work.

I don’t ask for luxury, but for sufficiency.
You said, “Do not worry about tomorrow” (Matthew 6:34),
so I won’t reach ahead in fear.
I choose the manna of today,
just as You gave Israel in the wilderness—
daily provision, fresh and faithful (Exodus 16:4).

Give me the bread that endures to eternal life—
the Bread of Heaven, Jesus Christ.
For You said, “I am the Bread of Life;
whoever comes to Me shall not hunger” (John 6:35).
Feed my spirit with Your Word,
for man does not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God (Matthew 4:4).

And Lord, as You provide for me,
help me to share what I have with those in need.
Let my blessing become someone else’s answered prayer.
Make me a channel of provision,
a witness to Your goodness,
a helper to the hungry.

Thank You for being faithful—
for filling my table, for meeting my needs,
and for being my portion forever (Psalm 73:26).

In the name of Jesus,
the Bread of Life,

Amen.
