Give us this Day, Our Daily Bread

Sweet cinnamon buns from the land of Nod

(A Writer's Plea for Provision)

Why is it important for us to ask for 'our' daily bread?

Could it be we write for the benefit of others?

Not what 'I need' to write?

Fresh words

Fresh phrases

Not cliches that are old

Stale comparisons turn up noses

Attractively arranged words draw the eye

Refresh the palette

Revive a wilted soul

Yet this bread is daily

Sought

Requested

Not once and for all

A conversation

Between seeker and provider

It speaks of connection

Humility to say I cannot

We depend on you our Father

For nourishment from the One

Who is holy and hallowed

Who orchestrates the kingdom on earth as it is in heaven

Feed us your words

Your purpose

Your plans

Speak and we will be fed

Nourish our spirits, soul and body

So we can thrive

Be revived
