第一百二十五问
Q. What does the fourth petition mean?
第四条祈愿是什么意思?
A. “Give us this day our daily bread” means: Do take care of all our physical needs [1] so that we come to know that you are the only source of everything good, [2] and that neither our work and worry nor your gifts can do us any good without your blessing. [3] And so help us to give up our trust in creatures and trust in you alone. [4]
“我们日用的饮食今日赐给我们”表明: 求神看顾我们身体所有的需要[1],这样好叫我们知道你是一切美善事物之源[2], 并且在你的祝福之外,无论是我们的劳作还是忧愁,或者是你的恩赐,都不能给我们益处[3]。 并且帮助我们不叫我们仰赖受造之物,而叫我们但但信靠你[4]。
