Daily Dependence, Daily Bread

Discussion Questions

Warm Up: In this sermon, we learned how to pray for “daily bread.

”Share a time when you were hungry — physically, emotionally, or spiritually — and how God provided for you.

‍

“Give us this Day our Daily Bread”

Reflect on the Message:

1. Pastor Rob said that prayer for “daily bread” means daily dependence. What’s something you find it hard to depend on God for each day?

‍

Scripture Engagement: Read Matthew 6:34

2. How might your outlook change if you stopped worrying about “next week’s bread” and focused on how God is providing for you today? What’s one area of your life where you sense God calling you to trust Him more in the present moment?

‍

Personal Connection:

3. Pastor Rob said “daily bread” is a prayer against temptation. What temptations keep you from trusting God; self-reliance, greed, discontentment, materialism, comparison, pride, etc.?

4. Rob talked about the difference between needs and “greeds.” Can you think of a time when you were praying for a “greed,” but God instead provided what you really needed?

5. Rob gave an analogy of the washing machine that gets off balance. Have you ever felt off balance? Who or what is your center? What problems are bigger than God?

6. What do you think of this statement: “God gives you what you would have asked for if you knew everything God knows”? How does that challenge or comfort you?

7. As you reflect on the message, how might God be inviting you to grow in your prayer life this week?
