How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered!
Psalm 139:17
First, help me never to tell a lie. Second, give me neither poverty nor riches! Give me just enough to satisfy my needs.
Proverbs 30:8
After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it. So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content.
1 Timothy 6:7-8
Why, O God, do we do what we know we should not? We eat food that does not satisfy. We buy things we don’t need and accumulate wealth we can’t keep. Remind us to seek what is our true treasure, which is you and your love. Amen.
