Sufficiency or Prosperity

 

I pray,

“Give us this day our daily bread.”
(Matthew 6:11)

 

It is a request for sufficiency–for what I need. But sometimes I make it into a request for personal prosperity–for me to provide for myself everything I want. I’m asking God to grant me self-sufficiency, I’m asking for the ability and resources to fill my every desire.

I need an attitude adjustment.

 

Good morning, Lord. Forgive my desire to accumulate more and more. Fill me with gratitude for what You have provided. Teach me to be content with what I have. Help me understand the concept of “enough.”

Give me this day enough to get me through this day.

    Thank you! That is exactly what I needed to read today, as I am trying to simply my life. Too much stuff makes it hard for me to focus on what I really need. More of Jesus less of things that distract me from what is really enough.
