Matthew 6:11

TEXT:  Matthew 6:11

INTRO:  The entire first half of The Model Prayer is focused soley on God.  Now, we are taught to pray for ourselves.  In the first part of this prayer everything is spiritual.  Here, everything seems to be carnal, selfish and fleshly in nature.  Yet, even this request for personal needs is intensely spiritual in nature.  Even though we are here making request for ourselves, the spotlight still rests squarely iin the face of the Almighty.
