FROM LUTHER’S PRAYERS:
O Father, it is indeed true that no one can be strong by his own power (I Sam. 2:4). How can we stand before your might if youdo not yourself strengthen and comfort us? Therefore, dear Father, embrace us, accomplish your will in us, that we may beyour kingdom to your praise and glory. But, dear Father,strengthen us in this life with your holy word. Give us our daily bread. Establish in our hearts your dear Son Jesus Christ who isthe true bread of heaven. Sustained by him, we may gladly bear and suffer the breaking and the dying of our own will and thefulfilling of your will. Give grace to all Christendom. Send useducated pastors and preachers who will not give us the crumbsand chaff of foolish fables, but who will teach us your holyGospel and lead us to Jesus Christ. Amen.
FROM THE SMALL CATECHISM:
Give us this day our daily bread.
What is this?
In fact, God gives daily bread without our prayer, even to allevil people, but we ask in this prayer that God cause us torecognize what our daily bread is and to receive it withthanksgiving.
What does “daily bread” mean?
Everything included in the necessities and nourishment for our bodies, such as food, drink, clothing, shoes, house, farm, fields,livestock, money, property, an honest spouse, upright children,capable members of the household, competent and faithfulrulers, good government, good weather, peace, health, decency,honor, good friends, faithful neighbors, and the like.
