For Gratitude and Contentment

Giving God,
Every day we are enticed to purchase and consume. No matter how much we accumulate, there is always more. Spending has never been as easy or convenient as it is in our present age, and it is normalized by everyone all around us. Help me go against the grain, Lord, by filling me with a spirit of contentment. Let me find joy in admiring the world’s wares and the belongings of others without feeling the need to personally possess them. Renew my appreciation for all that is already mine, and allow me to find satisfaction in putting it to good use and in taking care of it. Counter my consumer spirit with a genuine desire to value people and experiences over shopping and spending. Grant me a glad and grateful heart, resulting in thankfulness for all that I have, rather than resentment by focusing on what I lack. After all, I have you; therefore, I have all that I truly need. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

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.
