25. Lord God, it’s not easy for me to admit to, but today I confess to you that greed is a part of my life. There are times when I’m more interested in “me” than in “others”. There are times when I’m so caught up in getting “things” that I dismiss the needs of people. Forgive me, Lord.

26. Lord, re-fashion my heart so that my priority is to store up treasures in heaven, not treasures on earth.

27. Lord, you are so generous in your dealings with me. Help me to reflect that same generosity in my dealings with others. Amen.
