To Spend Wisely
God of all Good,
We are blessed to have so many solutions when it comes to filling our wants and our needs. We are surrounded by brick and mortar stores that provide more options than we would ever even explore before making a purchase. We have online stores at our fingertips that load more screens and pages than we could ever scroll through.
Today, as we are hit with sales and deals and once-a-year shopping opportunities, guard me from becoming consumed by commercialism. A thoughtful gift is one thing, but guide me in moderation. Few of us or those we know need more material things in our lives. Let me manage the financial resources you’ve entrusted to me with prudence and reason. Keep me from overspending or racking up debt. While I bring these requests to you on this Black Friday, may they also apply also through the duration of this holiday season and beyond.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
