Jesus paid attention to the needs of those who followed him and responded to the petitions of others.
You may be familiar with the story of the Loaves and Fishes, but you may not be familiar with the way the original audience understood the story. For this reason, it's a good idea to re-familiarize yourself with the story before teaching it. Focusing on the purpose of the story rather than the details of the story has been a very accessible way for early disciples to connect this story with the Lord's Prayer.
