But people who long to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.--1 Timothy 6:9-10 (NLT)
God, My
Provider,
I don’t want to foolishly let a desire for money cause me to fall into temptations that would ultimately destroy me. Instead, I want to recognize that the love of money gives life to all kinds of evil, and thus save myself the anguish and sorrows that would come from wandering from faith and trust in You as my Provider.
I always
want to realize that the riches of this world cannot be held and can easily
slip from my grasp at any moment of time.
I always
want to be content with whatever God chooses to bless me with, as I move
through this short life here on earth.
I always
want to remain conscious and mindful of what I am willing to do to obtain the
money I need in order to live while I am here on earth, so that my heart will
remain pure and my integrity will stand intact at all times.
I always
want to love others, more than I love money or possessions.
I always
want to love a life of obedience to Your Word, above any temporary gain I might
receive through disobedience.
I never want
to have anything that I am not willing to freely give up for Your purposes.
I don’t want to foolishly let a desire for money cause me to fall into temptations that would ultimately destroy me. Instead, I want to recognize that the love of money gives life to all kinds of evil, and thus save myself the anguish and sorrows that would come from wandering from faith and trust in You as my Provider.
In the name
of Jesus, Amen.
