What Values and Priorites to Choose

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may Your Holy Spirit please be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Dear Lord please show us what values and priorities to choose as our needs become more obvious and it becomes harder to keep a positive attitude. Dear Lord please take control and guide us in Your Infinite Divine Wisdom, please keep us from treading paths that insist on giving control of our lives over to money and what it can buy. 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, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Mt 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 
Mt 22:37  Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 
Mt 22:38 This is the first and great commandment. 
Mt 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 
Mt 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. 

Lu 12:15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. 
Lu 12:16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 
Lu 12:17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 
Lu 12:18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. 
Lu 12:19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. 
Lu 12:20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
Lu 12:21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. 

Lu 16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
