Matthew 6:11 (ESV)
Give us this day our daily bread.
Food for our bodies, daily.
Food for our souls, also daily. Not an hour on Sunday and we’re good for the week. Not Christmas and Easter and we’re good for the year.
God’s Word, food for our souls — 365 days a year.
Good morning, Lord. Teach me to study Your Word … not just now and then, but daily. Fill my soul with Your encouragement, correction and wisdom. Even if it’s one short verse, grant me new insight every time. Show me how words written so long ago apply to me, right here and right now. Train me to weave this divine knowledge into my every-day prayers for myself and others.
