Prayer Against Greed Heavenly Father, You are
my provider, my sustainer, and the giver of every
good thing. I come to You asking for freedom
from the grip of greed, from the desire for more
that blinds me to what I already have. Lord,
guard my heart from the love of wealth and possessions.
Teach me to be content, to live simply, and to
be grateful for Your daily blessings. Remove
any selfish ambition that draws me away from
You. Break the chains of envy and comparison
that feed dissatisfaction in my soul. Instead
of storing up treasures on earth, help me to
store up treasures in heaven by loving others,
giving generously, and seeking your kingdom first.
Let my heart be rich in compassion, not in material
things. Help me remember that all I have is yours,
and that I am only a steward of your gifts. Create
in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right
spirit within me. For the love of money is a
root of all kinds of evil. Some people eager
for money have wandered from the faith and pierced
themselves with many griefs. In Jesus' name I
pray, Amen.
