A Prayer for Monday, June 24, 2013

Choices, Part 16

O God,

Help us today to choose sufficiency over abundance.

We thank you for our blessings but even as we thank you we ask you to lead us to treat our abundance as an opportunity to bless others. Help us to consider the implications of the fact that while so many of us have so much there are so many who have so little, that while so many of us have way more than we need there are so many who have way less than they need.

Inspire us to see our abundance as an opportunity to do great good rather than as the privilege to live in great leisure.

Make us thankful that we have enough. Lead us to use our more than enough to help those who have less than enough.

Help us today to choose sufficiency over abundance.

Amen.
