Made to Pray - Part 5 - "Stewardship"
Kyle Reno | Sunday, February 8, 2026
In this message from February 8, Pastor Kyle continues our series Made to Pray exploring the fourth approach to prayer found in Luke 11:2-3, where Jesus teaches us to pray "Give us each day our daily bread." This isn't just about physical provision—it's about declaring our complete dependence on God for everything in our lives. Prayerful stewardship acknowledges that God has given us everything we have, invites His wisdom in managing what we've received, and presents our needs to Him every day. This approach helps us move from kingdom-focused prayer into the personal areas where we desperately need God's provision and guidance.
Matthew 6:33 (ESV)
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Luke 11:2-3 (ESV)
2 And he said to them, “When you pray, say:…3 Give us each day our daily bread…”
