15And he (Jesus) said to them, ‘Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.’
Let us pray.
O God, the Father of all Wisdom, give to us the ability to see and act courageously and clearly. Allow us to know with certainty what we should treasure and worship. Save us from idolizing and worshiping lifeless things that may serve us well for a moment but which have no lasting or final value. Guide us so that we may give our finest devotion and worship to you. In full surrender, let us be possessed by you and never put under the slavery of things. We hunger for the satisfaction of the fellowship we find only in walking and talking and living with you now and eternally. Forgive us for those times when we have allowed any substitute.
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
prayer prayed by the Reverend George Zorn
