Counsel us, O God, with your
eye upon us;
instruct us and teach us the
way we should go.
Remind us of your mighty hand
and outstretched arm,
of your extraordinary power
that brings us out of slavery.
May we never forget your treasure
you have placed within us;
may we always choose
to serve you, not the wealth of this world.

Selected Verses
Ps. 32:8
I
will instruct you and teach you the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my eye upon you.
I will counsel you with my eye upon you.
Deut. 5:15a
Remember
that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you
out from there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm…
2 Cor. 4:7
But
we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made clear that this
extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us.
Luke 16:13
"…No
slave can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the
other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth." [Jesus to the disciples]
