A “trespass” is a sin—a thought, word, or deed which offends God’s holy character and violates his Law, missing the mark of his will and expectations.
The fifth petition is “Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.”
God gives me daily bread because he is a good and loving Father, who gives good things to all his children, sustains us in life, and desires that we grow daily in his grace.
God calls me to trust him for the needs of each day, to be concerned for the needs of others, to be content with what I have, and to grow in gratitude for his provision.
Daily bread includes all that we need each day for our bodily provision and spiritual nourishment.
I pray for my needs and those of my brothers and sisters: for daily provision, pardon for sins, and protection from evil.
The fourth petition is “Give us this day our daily bread.”
In heaven, God’s Name is perfectly hallowed, and his will is perfectly obeyed and fulfilled. I pray for his kingdom to be established fully and his will to be accomplished on earth, that his Name may be perfectly hallowed in all creation
