Want and Need

Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may Your Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting and comforting us in every thing that we say and do, and please forgive us when we still make mistakes as we set our priorities and values by worldly standards of wanting more than we need. Please show us how to be wise in business without being greedy and insensitive to the needs of others. Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings and protection that You have given us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others and please lead us into areas where we can show others that wanting more and needing more are two different things, and that wanting more may lead into the evil traps of hate and greed, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen. 

KJV*
Pr 28:25 He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat. 
Pr 28:26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. 
Pr 28:27 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse. 

1Ti 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 
1Ti 6:7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 
1Ti 6:8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 
1Ti 6:9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
1Ti 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 
1Ti 6:11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
