Story
Years ago, I read in Exodus about how God provided manna for His people each day. One morning soon after, I was saying the Lord's prayer with my children. When I said, “give us this day our daily bread,” it stood out to me. Although this reference relates to physical needs, I believe it also pertains to spiritual needs.
