Why did Jesus specify that we have to pray daily for our needs?

Why does the Lord give us daily bread and not bread for a lifetime?

In this episode of Christian Life Issues for Today, Dr. Wayne Mack continues to reveal all the spiritual treasure that can be found in the Lord’s prayer by focusing on the phrase “give us this day”.
