Status or Wealth

Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may Your Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Please give us wisdom and understanding about the true values that make a satisfied life, so that we can share this knowledge with others. Let us see that if we had worldly status and wealth our morning cup of coffee would not taste any better, the song of the mocking bird would not be any sweeter, nor would the kiss of a child or other loved one be any softer. 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 name we pray, amen.

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.

Jas 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
Jas 1:7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.  
Jas 1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.  
Jas 1:9  Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
