our daily bread
Life's essential nourishment
Our daily bread refers to basic sustenance or the necessities of life.
The phrase comes from the Lord's Prayer, where it asks God for provision of food each day.
Extended beyond literal bread, it can mean one's livelihood or the essential things needed to get by: Teaching is how she earns her daily bread.
