Today is day 191 and we are on the section on The Fourth Petition: "Give us this day our daily bread".

191. Why should you pray for daily bread?

God calls me to trust him for the needs of each day, to be concerned for the needs of others, to be content with what I have, and to grow in gratitude for his provision. (Exodus 16; Psalm 78:15–20; Matthew 6:25–34; James 4:2–3)

We will conclude today with Prayer 25. In Time of Scarcity or Famine found on page 653 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
