Jesus' model prayer included the request for daily bread. I wonder if that request was "inspired" by verses 7-9 in this chapter. Too much of anything will tempt us to trust in ourselves, or what we've been allowed to accumulate. Having too little will tempt us with covetousness and greed. Receiving our daily bread will teach us trust in God, contentment in his provisions, and how to find joy in the simple things of creation.
