Daily Bread - Daily Dependence

We're spending a few days of vacation with our inlaws in sunny (hot!) Florida.
I flipped through the local radio stations in our rental car until I heard a radio preacher teaching about the "Lord's Prayer" from the Gospel. Most of us know it..."Our Father, who art in heaven - Holy is your Name. May your Kingdom come, and Your will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven."
Now here's the part I haven't often thought of:
"...Give us this day, our daily bread..."
The radio preacher pointed this out as a great reminder that we're to depend on God for our "daily" needs. Not just to check in on him monthly, yearly, or even weekly at church.
We should have a "daily" relationship with God - one where we would even place our dependence for our daily source of bread with Him - as well as the "Bread of Life," for our eternal needs.
I intend to keep that daily relationship with God, especially in prayer - as Jesus taught.
What do you believe?
