A Collect to Avoid the Love of Money

Generous God, who has given great gifts to your children, keep us from clinging and becoming attached to money, that wealth and power would not compete with our devotion to you and so disdain the good that you offer us, through Jesus our brother, who showed us how to live and ascended to you and the Holy Spirit to reign in glory forever. Amen.

‘No slave can serve two masters, for a slave will either hate the one and love the other or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.’ – Luke 16:13
