Is there one of these meanings that is particularly meaningful to you? Have you gained any new insights this week? How was the last session helpful to you? How have you come to answer the question that was posed at the end of the session, "Can we petition God full of faith?" In other words, can our prayer for daily bread be a confession of confidence that God will meet our basic needs?

Amazing!=)

Excellent! Thanks for the feedback!
this explanation helped me understand the concept and act of communion in more detail
Woo Hoo! Lots of posts.
We talked about the tension of asking God to provide our daily needs and God telling us not to worry about our daily needs when He provides even for the sparrow. I feel that this is not a tension.
The verse about God taking care of our needs establishes God as our primary care giver. I believe that our relationship with God is a relationship. God wants us to share with Him our concerns as would any father. It almost seems more polite to ask for the things I need, then to assume that because of God's omniscience I don't need to ask. Asking for something acknowledges that we can not provide for ourselves. That we are dependent on God's mercy and provision.
Aaron,
Great post! I think your comment about being in relationship with God is right on. Seeing it in this light brings us back to the purpose behind prayer - relationship.
Thanks for the post.
