our relationship with God

Answer 1

As Jesus moves from the third petition of the Lord’s Prayer, "your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven," to the fourth petition, "Give us this day our daily bread," he shifts the prayer’s focus to our dependence on God and our relationships with others.

The fourth petition emphasizes the need for daily sustenance, highlighting our reliance on God for provision and the importance of communal support and care in relationships. It acknowledges both our physical needs and the interdependence we share with others in fulfilling those needs.
