March 11, 2014: 7th Day:

               

                Give us this day our daily bread:

‘Yes human person does not live on bread alone’ and yet how true it is that we need bread daily to sustain our soul and our lives. No wonder then Jesus asked us to pray to God the Father for the daily bread. We need the wisdom, guidance, strength, and courage to face the challenges of daily life. How true it is when Scott Peck opened his book with these lines in his best seller, The Road less travelled: “Life is difficult, are we going to be blown around by this wind or are we going to lean into it”? Is there a work problem, a relationship issue, a financial hurdle, a housing choice that blow you around so much so that you feel overwhelmed? We all need that “wisdom that comes from the mouth of God” to turn a difficulty into a challenge. So today pray that special prayer that Jesus taught us, a prayer that will be heard by the Father for the Son knows the Father. The Son knows our desires, pains, challenges and difficulties and he wants to help us along the journey of life. So we pray ‘rise up Lord in defense of your people, do not hide your face from our troubles’. Amen
