Why do we seek to be independent of asking anyone for help? Why do we seek to be independent of God?
We are taught to be independent as children by our parents, teachers, family and friends. So, seeking for help is the hardest thing for one to do even when we know the help is available. That's why it's a difficult time asking help from the Lord. All he wants is for us to dependent solely on him for everything.
Why should we ask God to "give" us daily bread so long as we can earn a living for ourselves?
"Give us daily bread" consist of instruction, wisdom and knowledge for that day. With these tools in mind you will have a very properous day. It prepares us for all unforseen danger that God will warns us about, decisions that need to be made and how to keep our joy, peace and happiness in this day.
