Day 30 – Tuesday
1 Timothy
6:2c-10
God our Provider, we are so often caught
up in an unsettling mixture of desires. We want to serve You, but we want to
satisfy a host of desires that we have come to define as needs. We want more
money. We want good living to produce financial well-being, even significant
wealth.
We
do not see that we have become trapped into believing that wealth is our source
of satisfaction and security. We do not see that the wounds of restlessness,
dissatisfaction, shattered relationships, alienation, intense stress and
diminished health are often the result of our addictive quest for more money
and possessions.
Forgive us for allowing money to be a
rival god. Heal our self-inflicted wounds. Take our hand and lead us from the
path of grief, ruin and destruction, back into the path of life. Help us to
trust You fully. Enable us to be satisfied with your provision of our basic
needs. Enable us to find contentment in You and your gifts. Amen.
