Susan Lafferty“Give us this day our daily bread” (Matthew 6:11).
Contentment with what I hold in my hands is fleeting. Feeling it’s not quite enough.
Subtle dissatisfaction. And an inner push for “more than.”
Then, some days, I just ignore the meal set before me.
Distracted. By things less filling.
Alarm sounds. Stumble out of bed. Half asleep.
Then, habit kicks in. First word, His Word.Â
Simple practice. Way of life. Necessary.
And not something I can take for granted. Because distraction is always at the door.
You reveal mystery in the quiet, often.
Solitude.
Hard won in certain seasons. Mere breaths of time when children are young. Random moments, captured here and there.
But out of necessity, we take them. Make time. And draw near.Â
