Proverbs 30:8 - Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food that is needful for me, lest I be full and deny you and say, “Who is the LORD?” Or lest I be poor and stand and profane the name of my God.

Lord God, Solomon is so wise. He shows me that both poverty and riches pose a danger to my soul. The one leads me to praise myself, the other leads me to curse God. I pray, give me and give my family just the right amount so that we are left to rely on you and on you alone. Give us just what we need so that’s we call on you for daily bread and trust you to provide it. Give us just what we need so that we don’t become self-reliant or boastful. Give us a contented heart whatever provision you give us so that we are happy, thankful, and content in whatever season or blessing you give us. God, I pray, continue to give us daily bread, each day. Most of all, dear Lord, help us always to have our hearts fixed on you and full of joy to worship and honor you. Do whatever it takes in our lives to keep us close to you and believing in you. Amen.
