Gracious God, who knows our weaknesses and needs, show us where our hearts are tied to money and possessions, that we would know where we are tempted and may seek your aid to release that which binds us and keeps us from trusting in you, through Jesus our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
‘And he 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.”‘ – Luke 12:15
