Isaiah 53:4-5

§ Confession of Faith          
Heidelberg Catechism         Question #125
Leader: What does the fourth petition mean?
People: “Give us this day our daily bread” means: Do take care of all our physical needs so that we come to know that You are the only Source of everything good, and that neither our work and worry nor Your gifts can do us any good without Your blessing. And so help us to give up our trust in creatures and trust in You alone.
