Bible Verse Commentary
Henry reflects on the idea that this request encompasses more than just physical food, indicating a broader need for all things necessary for life. By asking for "daily bread," believers express reliance on God for every provision, acknowledging God's control over their resources.
Barnes emphasizes the word "daily," suggesting that this signifies the need for a continual provision rather than once-for-all sufficiency. This underscores the importance of seeking God daily and the sufficiency of God's grace, aligning believers with the rhythm of reliance and trust.
Clarke delves into the historical context, noting that the Jews understood bread as a staple of life, thus representing all of life's necessities. He points out that this petition illustrates a complete dependence on God for everything that sustains life.
