The exposition of the Lord’s Prayer in THE SMALL CATECHISM has us praying for the two kinds of things we need; namely, bread and forgiveness.
THE FOURTH PETITION
Give us this day our daily bread.
What does this mean?
God certainly gives daily bread without our prayer, even to all the wicked; but we pray in this petition that He would lead us to acknowledge this and to receive our daily bread with thanksgiving.
What is meant by daily bread?
Daily bread includes everything needed for this life, such as food, drink, clothing, shoes, house, home, fields, cattle, money, goods, God-fearing spouse and children, faithful servants and rulers, good government, good weather, peace, health, order, honor, true friends, good neighbors, and the like.
THE FIFTH PETITION
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
