Day 16 – Saturday
Matthew 6:19-24
Merciful God, we are accustomed to accumulating
wealth and securing it, as well as we can, against corruption and theft. But we
are never certain of the security of our resources and often live with deep
anxiety about what we possess.
Break
the powerful control that the false god, money, has in our lives. Allow us to
escape into broad new spaces of freedom and joy. Give us clear and healthy insight into your
desire for us. Move us beyond accumulation that is based in greed and anxiety
to sharing that is based in grateful and hopeful trust in You.
Let
the treasure we create be measured by lives of fruitful obedience and
generosity. May we utilize the resources You have provided in order to bring
help, healing and hope to others.
May
everything we do reflect the fact that You are our only God, our only hope, our
only joy. We love You with our whole being! Let that show in our daily lives.
Amen.
