Lord God,
You give to all
generously and ungrudgingly,
for great is your
steadfast love toward us,
and your faithfulness
endures forever.
We ask you to give us
wisdom, that we may be on guard
against all kinds of
greed—honest in our dealings with
one another, and remembering
there is more to
our lives than an abundance
of possesions.
