Against Worldliness

Lord, keep me from becoming
Too firmly attached to this earth
That I should fall in love too deeply
With material things.
Make me understand that this journey
Is only a temporary visit
Then can I see all of life in its true perspective.
Let me love those that will endure
Allow nothing on earth
To mean so much to me
That I would sin for them
Purify my desire for earthly things
By using them wisely
According to Your will.
Amen.

Bible Inspiration: Matthew 6:20
Make it your practice instead to store up heavenly treasure which neither moths nor rust corrode, nor thieves break in and steal.
