Holding forth the Word of Life
— Philippians 2:16a (KJV)

Lord’s Day 50

Q125: What is the fourth petition?

Give us this day our daily bread.

That is:

Provide us with all our bodily needs1

so that we may acknowledge that you are the only fountain of all good,2 and that our care and labour, and also your gifts, cannot do us any good without your blessing.3

Grant, therefore, that we may

withdraw our trust from all creatures and place it only in you.4
