How do we trust that God will give us what we really need? In this episode, Father Andrew examines the fourth petition of the Lord's Prayer, where we ask God to give us, every day, our daily bread. He explains how this "bread" we ask for is in fact all the sustenance we need, including the Holy Eucharist. He explains how we participate in God's plan to give everyone their daily bread when we give our tithes, and those tithes become the daily bread of others. And he responds to this frequent question about the stewardship of treasure: "How much, and when, should I give to God?"
