True Riches

“Prosperity knits a man to the world. He feels that he is finding his place in it, while really it is finding its place in him.”  ― C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

Heavenly Father,

As we remember the poor in prayer, please help us to be poor in spirit.  Your Word says, “Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs in the kingdom of heaven”.  Grant us the grace to release our temporal riches to assist the poor and suffering.  Help us embrace the eternal riches of loving God and one another.

In Jesus’ precious name.  Amen
