Question 125 - What is the fourth petition?

Answer - Give us this day our daily bread. That is: Provide us with all our bodily needs¹ so that we may acknowledge that Thou art the only fountain of all good,² and that our care and labour, and also Thy gifts, cannot do us any good without Thy blessing.³ Grant therefore that we may withdraw our trust from all creatures, and place it only in Thee.⁴
