Lesson on LC#193 Daily Bread Lord's Prayer, Pt 2
Series SS: Larger Catechism
Q. What do we pray for in the fourth petition?
A. In the fourth petition, (which is, Give us this
day our daily bread, (Matt. 6:11)) acknowledging,
that in Adam, and by our own sin, we have forfeited
our right to all the outward blessings of this life,
and deserve to be wholly deprived of them by God, and
to have them cursed to us in the use of them; (Gen.
2:17, Gen. 3:17, Rom. 8:20–22, Jer. 5:25, Deut.
28:15–17) and that neither they of themselves are
able to sustain us, (Deut. 8:3) nor we to merit,
(Gen. 32:10) or by our own industry to procure them;
(Deut. 8:17–18) but prone to desire, (Jer. 6:13, Mark
7:21–22) get, (Hos. 12:7) and use them unlawfully:
(James 4:3) we pray for ourselves and others, that
both they and we, waiting upon the providence of God
from day to day in the use of lawful means, may, of
his free gift, and as to his fatherly wisdom shall
seem best, enjoy a competent portion of them; (Gen.
43:12–14, Gen. 28:20, Eph. 4:28, 2 Thess. 3:11–12,
Phil. 4:6) and have the same continued and blessed
unto us in our holy and comfortable use of them, (1
Tim. 4:3–5) and contentment in them; (1 Tim. 6:6–8)
and be kept from all things that are contrary to our
temporal support and comfort. (Prov. 30:8–9)
