Our daily bread
Give us this day our daily bread. In the three former petitions we have been praying for all mankind. We come now more particularly to desire a supply for our own wants. Not that we are directed, even here, to confine our prayer altogether to ourselves. But this, and each of the following petitions, may be used for the whole church of Christ on earth.

Not that we are directed even here, to confine our prayer altogether to ourselves: but this and each of the following petitions may be used for the whole church of Christ upon earth.
