Daily
“Whether you like it or not,
read and pray daily.
It is your life.
There is no other way;
else you will be a trifler all of your days.”
— John Wesley
“Give us this day,” starts a line in that model prayer Jesus gives us in Matthew 6.
“Give us this day our daily bread,” we say as we finish what he started.
Christ Jesus also said that we don’t “live by bread alone, but by words of God.” (Bible Trivia: that’s in both Matthew’s and Luke’s versions of the Gospel as the 4th verse of the 4th chapter….)
John Wesley picked up on Christ’s emphasis on “daily” when he wrote that we need to read and pray daily.
Not a lot of subterfuge here.
Read and pray daily.
See you back here tomorrow.

After that same study on prayer, I came away with a deeper meaning of “The Lord’s Prayer”. There are places, as I say it, I put more emphasis than just rote, as learned in Sunday school. I think about each word as I say it. The word ‘bread’ has more meaning to me than food. It is all the wisdom, answers (if they are viable to that day), direction, and, yes, food. Most of my days the past week have been chaotic in my head, but without ‘daily’ it is unbearable.
