If you watched the video called "The Prayer that Americans refuse to pray" you will have been touched by Prov. 30:7-9 and it's message of asking the Lord for our daily bread. I would have to disagree a little bit with Francis Chan this time because people pray this prayer all the time but don't think about what they are praying. Let me explain!
The verse that is cross-referenced to Prov. 30:7-9 is Matt. 6:11 which is the portion of the Lord's prayer that says, "Give us our daily bread". Let's be honest, how many of us have prayed that prayer so many times that we couldn't count but never stopped to think about what it is really saying? It has become a routine but we never stop and realize that we are asking God to give us what we need just for TODAY!!! Think about it! What an awesome revelation and it definitely takes the routine out of the Lord's prayer for me and I hope and pray that it does for you too!!!
Great blog Eva! I can't wait until Art and I start reading this. We plan to begin tomorrow evening.

Love your blog Eva. Especially enjoyed this entry from 2009. Timely for me today. My dad is being operated on this coming Thursday and I was beginning to become anxious about it and this reminded me to stay in the moment, thanks.
