Dear Lord,
When ever we feel the need to hold on to our worldly possessions as if they are trophies, please remind us that what we have collected here on earth are only earthly things.
Money, clothes, items will not accompany us when our name is called to meet you Lord.
While these items can help us here on earth, let us not get caught up with the Joneses and try to outspend and out fox one another. Remind us Lord, that these possessions collected here on earth will remain on earth and have no bearing to our status at Your doors.
Always remind us of our true purpose, and our true goal here–to worship You.
Amen.
Amen Kalley & well said. When you said Joneses, you werent talking about me were you 😉
Glad the colds are gone, take care dear!
Haha, nope I wasn’t talking about you or any of my blogging buddies 🙂 hope you have a blesses Sunday!
Amen, thanks for the reminder to us all.
Kalley this is right on point. I think of the scripture that says “these thing perish with use.” We carry nothing beyond the grave, yet we often act as if we will. Just today in the gym I read an article about spending and how we now not only want to keep up with the Joneses, but with the Zeta-Joneses. Sad, but true. Our vision has shifted, and only grace and His love can redirect us.
KalleyC, this is a great prayer. It is so easy to get caught up in the financial worries, struggles and competition of this world. I hope all is well.
