Jesus taught us to pray “Give us today our daily bread.” Matthew 6:11. When bread or other things we need are not readily available, or our personal finances are less than adequate then this part of the Lord’s Prayer takes on a greater significance.  
God has given us some remarkable answers to our prayers for daily bread and I would like to share some with you. 
One spring we were on our “regular” Northern Europe circuit travelling through Germany to Dresden, then south through the Czech Republic to Brno stopping off at several churches with keyboards, literature and a word of encouragement. We were due to arrive in Brno on Friday evening, deliver literature and preach on Sunday and then travel north to

Poland for similar visits. Between Prague and Brno the exhaust disintegrated right beneath my seat and made a dreadful noise. All Brno could hear us arrive! Not only was the noise uncomfortable but it could create problems at the border Polish if we arrived with an “un-roadworthy” vehicle.  
The next day was Saturday and we prayed for a solution to our problem. Just about every shop was closed but we did find a florists open. Not being interested I wanted to press on and continue our search. However Val really did want to buy “one of those lovely African Violets” for our hostess. So we went in (or rather I was dragged in) and there was the answer to our prayers. Not an African violet but an exhaust bandage! In a florists shop!! Praise God for Manna in the wilderness!
