Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:19-21
“Lord Jesus, regarding my money and resources: do they own my heart, or am I stewarding them well? Your words are ringing in my heart–where my treasure is, there is my heart also. Where is my heart today, Lord? I submit to your loving embrace and your honest evaluation. Where the things of this world have a grip on my heart, help me to release them. Where I value possessions more than I honor you, the Lord of all, forgive me and grant me your compassion. Where I long for things that have been created more than you, the Creator of all things, grant me your peace. I want my heart to treasure that which you treasure, Lord. May it be so today, for you and you alone are the center of my heart and the lover of my soul. In Jesus name. Amen.”
