Jewish prayers are mostly about daily things - the sliver of a new moon, dew on the grass, the bread and the wine.

The sky is the daily bread of the eyes.

Even the classics that we read to our young children are full of wolves' fangs and burning ovens and bloody feet and ice shards piercing hearts. Even the New Testament climaxes with an act of unspeakable torture. Might as well just read to our kids from the Amnesty Annual Report and be done with it.

The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.

By going out each day to seek for your daily bread,you are simply telling the universe that "I have faith in you to provide".

The saying, give us this day our daily bread simply means,let us all live from hand to mouth.
