## Lord’s Day 50
### 125. Q. What does the fourth petition mean?

**A**. “Give us this day our daily bread” means: Provide for all our physical needs<sup>1</sup> so that we may recognize that you are the only source of everything good,<sup>2</sup> and that neither our care and work nor your gifts can do us any good without your blessing.<sup>3</sup> Therefore may we withdraw our trust from all creatures and place it in you alone.<sup>4</sup>
