Give Us This Day
Students may read Matthew 6:5-15
The disciples knew that Jesus thought private prayer time was very important. But they also prayed together, such as when they gave thanks before the breaking of bread at the beginning of a meal. One day, a disciple said to Jesus, "Lord, teach us to pray,” like John the Baptist taught his disciples. So, Jesus gave them a model prayer that became known as the Lord’s Prayer. Part of the prayer says, “Give us this day our daily bread.”
Discussion Questions
We naturally want to pray for the things we need. We need food for our bodies as well as refreshment for our souls. What are some things that people like to pray for? We should also remember to give thanks. Why does that help us?
