Do We Have Enough?

Dear Lord please be with  us this day and may Your Holy Spirit please be with us guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. 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.
Dear Lord please protect us from the lust of worldly greed where " numbers of " and " how many of any thing we control " can become so important to us in our every day life that our values and priorities can become distorted and we can lose sight of the paths of righteousness that would lead us ultimately into "green pastures, beside still waters", where our souls would be "restored" through the Love and Truth of Jesus Christ.
Dear Lord please show us that if we have what we need then that is enough. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen. 

KJV*
Lu 12:13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
Lu 12:14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
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. 

Php 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. 
Php 4:5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 
Php 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 
Php 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 
Php 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
