=Prov. 30:8. Give me neither poverty nor riches: feed me with food convenient for me.= =1 Tim. 6:6. Godliness with contentment is great gain.= _300. Why are the words "this day" added?_ They are added that I should not be anxious for the morrow, but let each day bear its own burdens. =Matt. 6:34.= _301. Does God give daily bread to those only who pray for it?_ No; He gives daily bread also to the wicked, but they receive it without thanksgiving, and miss His blessing. =Matt. 5:45. He maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.= _302. How should the children of God receive their daily bread?_ They should ask God to bless their daily bread, and return Him thanks for it. =Prov. 10: 22. The blessing of the Lord maketh rich.= _303. Need we not work for our daily bread when we pray for it every day?_ Yes; God wants us to be diligent, each in our calling, trusting in His help. =Gen. 3:19.

Can we feel assured that God will forgive us this debt?_ Yes; Jesus Christ has paid for all our sins. _307. Why must the believer ask the forgiveness of sins every day?_ Because he sins every day, and is always in need of forgiveness. _308.

What do we promise God in this petition, while asking His forgiveness?_ We promise to forgive those who trespass against us, and return good for evil. =Luke 6:37.
