Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread                                                            

Today we learn to pray for our bodies to be God’s.  Most of Jesus’ ministry was healing the body for those who came to him for help.

Glenn Clark tells a story about visiting a friend who served him some orange juice.  As the ice cubes melted the juice became richer in flavor.  The ice cubes were made from orange juice and as they melted instead of diluting the juice, they made the flavor richer.    This is what God wants to do for our bodies by filling us with Himself.  God wants to fill us with His spirit in the form of ideas, emotions, and love.  This is the bread of our life, to be filled with Creator’s Love.    We are however, the body of Christ.  If we pray with faith for an inspiration for our spirit, why shouldn’t we pray with faith for bread, for food for our bodies?  There is nothing unheavenly or unspiritual in God’s Kingdom about asking for food or money to take care of our bodies.

We must surrender all aspects of our physical bodies to our Father, all four feet so to speak, our soul, our minds, our heart, and strength. Ask three more promises by using for our daily bread.

Glenn Clark tells us to ask for:

  1. I ask Thee, O Father, for the health and strength that will enable me to serve Thee, and never fail Thee.   “Ask and it shall be given to you…” (Matt. 7:7-8)
  2. I seek, from Thee, O Father, the money and things that will supply the resources for a creative and fruitful life.  “Ask and it shall be given to you …”(Matt. 7:7-8)
  3. Open the door, O Father, to the right work that will enable me to make my finest contribution to mankind.   “Knock, and it shall be opened unto you..(Matt.7:7-8)                                                                                                                                                           Meditation:  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dweller in you? (I Coe. 3:16.                                                                                                           Prayer: Our Father, we know that Thou art the Bread of Life, he that cometh to Thee shall never hunger;  Thou are the Water of Life, he that believeth on Thee shall never thirst.  Make us pure channels for manifesting Thy love and Thy abundance in the daily round of life.  Amen.  (pages 29-31)
