Prayer - Part 22

Index sentence #4 - "Give us this day our daily bread." (Note: "us")

Contains a major prayer principle.

Circle key repeated words in each verse:

John 14:13 (NASB) "And whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

John 16:23 (NASB) "And in that day you will ask Me no question. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you shall ask the Father for anything, He will give it to you in My name.

Luke 11:9 (NASB) "And I say to you, ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.

10 "For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it shall be opened.

Matt 21:22 (NASB) "And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive."

John 15:16 (NASB) "You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask of the Father in My name, He may give to you.

How do these verses parallel with "Give us this day our daily bread" ?

James 4:1 (NASB) What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is not the source your pleasures that wage war in your members?

2 You lust and do not have; [so] you commit murder. And you are envious and cannot obtain; [so] you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask.

3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend [it] on your pleasures.

Compare to:

Isai 31:1 (NASB) Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, [And] rely on horses, And trust in chariots because they are many, And in horsemen because they are very strong, But they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, nor seek the Lord!

How do these two correlate with the other Scriptures we looked at and with the 4^th index sentence?
