Praying for ProvisionMatthew 6:9-13“Our Father has committed to care for us. We aren’t wrestling crumbs out of a reluctant hand but, rather, confessing the bounty of a generous hand. The essence of the prayer is really an affirmation of the Father’s care. Because our provision is His priority.” - Max Lucado1. Jesus invites us to ask for help.Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.2. Whatever you give me is ours, not mine.3. God is never tired of our request.Luke 18:7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?4. The prayer is a reminder to live in today, and not distracted about tomorrow.Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.5. It is a reminder to be content.1 Timothy 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.Proverbs 30:7 “Two things I ask of you, Lord; do not refuse me before I die: 8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. 9 Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.6. We trust in the provider not in the provisionMatthew 6:31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
