Prayer

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.
Some people, eager for money,
have wandered from the faith
and pierced themselves with many griefs.”
1 Timothy 6:10

Lord God,
Help us not to be driven by greed
through seeking money, success and power above you.
Teach us to seek your kingdom of justice and compassion
and place the love of God and people above money. Amen.
