“Give us THIS DAY our daily bread.” We pray Jesus’ prayer in the “Our Father.” Most of the time we find ourselves preoccupied with what has happened or what is going to happen. What about this day? What about this moment? It is here and now that God wants to meet us. God wants to give us eternal life now, not only in the afterlife. God wants to be in us, and hopefully we want to be in God. Calling on the indwelling of God within us, we are able to experience eternal life. On this day God will feed us God’s daily bread. It will sustain us and give us all that we need to live this day fully.
Jesus met each day without many specific plans. He was available to those who came into his life this day and responded to what they needed. We too can go to Jesus this day to ask for healing for ourselves and others that show up in our lives or in our thoughts. Our prayers will reach them. Even today’s scientists can come to this conclusion. The only requirement is to believe and trust that God will answer our prayers in a way sometimes beyond our recognition. Our connection with others is more than a physical connection. Our intentions do matter. As Christians we are called to reach out to others. Make this day another entrance into eternal life.
