Now I lay me down to sleepI pray my job and benefits to keep.
I pray my stocks are on the riseAnd that my analyst is wise.
I pray my ancient furnace worksAnd that my career won’t lose its perks.
I pray my health club doesn’t closeAnd that my money market grows.
If I go broke before I wakeI pray my auto they won’t take.
Amen.

will also reap generously.

My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands
in your heart,2 for they will prolong your
life many years and bring you peace and prosperity.
3 Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Then you will win favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your
paths straight.
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil.
8 This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.
Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of
all your crops;
10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing,
and your vats will brim over with new wine.
- Proverbs 3:1-10

Every Dollar is on loan
(scarcity vs. abundance)
Keep up with Jesus, not the Jones’
Trust God as your security net
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with
what you have, because God has said, ‘Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you.’
So we say with confidence, ‘The Lord is my help; I will not be afraid.’
- Hebrews 13:5-6
Trust God as your security net
Money, most common of temporal things, involves uncommon and eternal consequences. Even though it may be done
quite unconsciously, money moulds people.
Depending upon how it is handled, it proves a blessing or a curse
to its possessor; either the person becomes master of money,
or the money becomes master of the person.
Our Lord takes money, the thing that, essential though
it is to our common life, sometimes seems so sordid,
and he makes it a touchstone to test the lives of people and
an instrument for moulding them into the likeness of himself. - David McConaughy
