       So while “Give us this day our daily bread” shows that the food we need to live our lives is important, it’s also true that we have a lot of other requests, needs, that we want God to give us, both on a daily basis as well as broader needs. We are to pray then that God will give us the food we need for our day, but we can also note that it is good for us to pray for the other needs that we have. One need, for instance, is daily strength. We can all use God’s strength to help us through our days—to help us be obedient to him and to stay on the right track. So, we can request of God that he give us our daily strength. We also want daily wisdom so that the things we think about and the choices we make are right decisions, ones that are pleasing to God and beneficial for us. On a more broader, grander, or specific scale, we might have requests that pertain to specific people or of which pertain to larger needs we individually have. Like, we might have an ongoing prayer request for a family member that we would like to be saved, and we continually bring this request to God. Or, we might have a personal need, like that we would like to find the right someone and get married.
