Our dependence and worship should lay squarely at the feet of our God. He is the great Giver, the Source. In Jesus' pattern of prayer in Matthew 6, he lays out one of the petitions that we should put before the Father and it is 'give us this day our daily bread'. So we pray for our needs in this world. Bread here meaning all sustenance not just physical bread. This prayer is about God even though we are asking for our needs to be met since we ask Him and we recognize Him as the one who meets our needs. And so God brings glory to himself by meeting our needs. Jesus wants his followers to know where bread comes from - it comes from God. There is a country song by Luke Bryan that says 'rain is a good thing, rain makes corn, corn makes whiskey….'. I have a modified song today 'rain is a good thing, rain makes wheat, wheat makes flour, flour makes bread, bread fills my belly'. Some farmers would tell you that no rain, no crop. Some say rain is the most important factor in the whole system. But where does rain come from that makes the corn and the wheat? Rain comes from God. So rain is not the most important factor, God is.
