The Gospel and the Means of Grace
What do we pray for in the fourth petition?
Answer
In the fourth petition, which is, Give us this day our daily bread (Matthew 6:11), we pray that of God's free gift we may receive a competent portion of the good things of this life, and enjoy his blessing with them (Proverbs 30:8; Genesis 28:20; 1 Timothy 4:4-5).
