Our Daily Bread
Take a moment to think about God’s provision in your life. Maybe He answered a prayer, kept a promise from His Word, or provided for you in a time of need.
In the passage in the Bible known as the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus teaches His disciples how to pray.
Part of the way through, Jesus says, “Give us today our daily bread.” He is referencing a time when God’s people wandered in the desert for 40 years before they could enter the Promised Land.
During that waiting period, in a time of despair and hopelessness, God cared for His people by sending manna, a type of bread, every day to sustain them.
In the same way the Israelites depended on God for food, Jesus is setting an example for how we should talk to God: with humility and complete dependence on Him and His Word.
God’s Word is the ultimate thing that sustains us, giving us strength for today, hope for tomorrow, and vision for the future.
When we depend on God and seek Him through His Word, God draws near—exceeding our expectations and doing infinitely more than we could imagine through our circumstances.
Today, we’re celebrating 15 years of Bible App. When we created it, we had no idea what God would do, but we wanted to continuously seek, obey, and trust Him. And for the past 15 years, God has faithfully provided for this ministry.
Since its first weekend in the App Store, the YouVersion Community has grown from 83,000 downloads to over half a billion worldwide—and counting.
Now, God’s Word is reaching people all over the world, from all nations and languages, through Bible App. And you’re one of them.
So today, spend time reading God’s Word and reflecting on God’s goodness and provision. Ask Him for guidance, surrender to Him, and trust that He will provide and sustain you.
Psalm 55
English Standard Version
Cast Your Burden on the Lord
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Maskil[a] of David.
55 Give ear to my prayer, O God,
and hide not yourself from my plea for mercy!
2 Attend to me, and answer me;
I am restless in my complaint and I moan,
3 because of the noise of the enemy,
because of the oppression of the wicked.
For they drop trouble upon me,
and in anger they bear a grudge against me.
4 My heart is in anguish within me;
the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
5 Fear and trembling come upon me,
and horror overwhelms me.
6 And I say, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove!
I would fly away and be at rest;
7 yes, I would wander far away;
I would lodge in the wilderness; Selah
8 I would hurry to find a shelter
from the raging wind and tempest.”
9 Destroy, O Lord, divide their tongues;
for I see violence and strife in the city.
10 Day and night they go around it
on its walls,
and iniquity and trouble are within it;
11 ruin is in its midst;
oppression and ...
