Father forgive us when we are greedy, when we claim entitlement, and when we fail to be good stewards of what you have given to us. We are all guilty of wanting things we don't really need and allowing those desires to outweigh responsible thinking and management of what we do have. We are a people of impulse buys and we have a hard time resisting a purchase when we don't have the money for it.
This has carried over into our government and gotten incredibly out of control. We have racked up an unfathomable debt in the name of doing good for the country or the world. I pray that we can unite to find ways to reign in the spending. I pray that are leaders would come together and eliminate the frivolous and the fluff. I pray that this debt would be taken very seriously and that our leaders would stand for fiscal discipline and responsibility.
God we know that all we have is ultimately yours. Help us to give it freely to those in need. Deliver us from the bondage of debt. We thank You for always providing, we thank you for the many extras that we enjoy every day. God, help us not to lose sight of the many blessings we have been given.
Amen.
