Jesus said, “a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions”, 

yet most of us have too much “stuff” and we still catch ourselves wanting more.

Lord, help us to be thankful for and content with what we have – whatever our 

circumstances. We thank You for food in our bellies, the shirt on our back, 

and the fact that we had somewhere to lay our heads last night. We thank You

that we have access to Your Word and can worship freely. We thank You that 

we are Your treasured possessions; purchased by the blood of our savior, Jesus,

in whose name we pray.

Amen.
