God wants your grocery list

What if the most spiritual thing you could do today was ask God for groceries? Jesus had five petitions to teach his disciples to pray and the first one about human need wasn't forgiveness, or deliverance, or wisdom. It was bread. When we look at the Lord's Prayer from this perspective, we find that it's not a throwaway request. It's a window into the character of God, a diagnosis of one of the deepest idols of the human heart, and an invitation to a completely different way of moving through your week.
