Was hat uns Gott befohlen, von ihm zu erbitten? (HK 118)

Alles, was wir für unser geistliches und leibliches Leben nötig haben, wie es der Herr Christus in dem Gebet zusammengefasst hat, das er uns selbst lehrt.

"The little word 'need' [nötig haben] should not be ignored, because it has enormous practical and spiritual consequences: we are asked and permitted to pray what for everything we need, not for everything we want. We are called to distinguish between needing and wanting..." - Margit Ernst-Habib
