Our Bread, not Mine
Luke 11:3
Give us day by day our daily bread.


You do not, you must not, want your neighbour's bread; you must want him to have that. Where is there a chance for dishonesty, where for oppression, when we pray such a prayer as that? No grinding the face of the poor, no withholding their wages, no reliance on their helplessness, when we have prayed that God would give them their bread. It is theirs, God gave it them; and we are to see that our hand never keeps back the blessing. "for which" we pray

(Arthur Brooks)
