A Prayer About Poverty And Wealth Of The Spirit

Most Precious Lord Jesus, Gentle And Wonderful God, Truly Awesome And Ever-present Holy Spirit,
Precious Lord Jesus, I love you.
Although we may not be able to be a missionary, a pastor, a minister, or an evangelist, touch our hearts so we can give to support those persons who you have called into your service.
As we face troubling economic times, show us new ways to treasure you.
Show us our wealth is in your love for us and not in our financial holdings.
Show us our wealth is your salvation for our souls.
As we face troubling economic times, show us new ways of counting our blessings.
Show us our greatest blessing is your love pouring down upon us this hour.
As we face troubling economic times, show us our material things, including our wealth, will pass away.
And show us your love for each of us shall never pass away.
At the same time, show us what we treasure, what we own, and what we possess will someday be left behind when you call us home.
Touch our heart and show us our storehouse is full of your care, your mercy, and your compassion.
Touch our heart and show us the wealth we build up by loving you and loving others can never be taken away, can never rust, and can never lose its value.
Show us our love for you and our love for others will come back to us in infinite ways and in infinite amounts when we see you face to face.
All these things I humbly pray in the name of my most Blessed Lord Jesus Christ, my Mighty God, and my Ever-present Holy Spirit upon whom I can rely.
Amen
