Sermons on the Heidelberg Catechism
Sermon #61 "The Christian's Petition for Daily Bread"
Lord’s Day 50—Question and Answer #125.
The Heidelberg Catechism beautifully emphasizes and highlights for us that praying this fourth petition, “Give us
this day our daily bread,” is very profitable, as a reminder of our complete dependence on God. We’ll see this in
three headings:
1. A Humble Request to God.
2. A Desire to End in God.
3. A Longing to Trust in God.
