Episode Synopsis

Jesus teaches us to pray for our needs and shows us what our needs are. These last three petitions teach us that we are to bring our needs to the Father and show us what our most fundamental needs are. Jesus taught us to pray for these things to show us that these are what we most truly need.
So what does the child of God need? What requests does our Father want us to make?

For Him to Meet our Daily Needs - “Give us this day our daily bread.”
For Him to Forgive our Regular Sins - “Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors”
For Him to Keep us from Sinful Situations - “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil”

Your Father wants you to bring everything to Him in prayer, whether small or insignificant. The same Father who calls us to pray for His name to be hallowed, kingdom to come, and will to be done is the same Father who wants us to recognize our need for His grace to make it through the morning. And He delights in meeting us in these most basic needs.
