“Remove far from me falsehood and lying; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the 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 steal and profane the name of my God.” Proverbs 30: 8-9

GOD, I am not asking for silver or gold;
Lest I become wealthy and forget your statutes and precepts.
Give me enough to share with those in need!
I am not asking for a supernatural intelligence;
I may be led to believe that I am above everyone;
I’m desperate for your wisdom to discern between right and wrong.
LORD, I am not asking to become a celebrity;
I may think that it’s my fame that works things.
Let the whole world know what You have done in me.

Dear GOD, I don’t want to be perfect;
I may boast.
I am craving for your humility, patience and guidance.
GOD, I am not asking that things go my way;
I may think that I am leading.
May your will be done every day.
Father GOD, I am not asking you to raise me above the world;
I may think that I rule.
Capture my heart and dwell in it richly!

This poem addresses many of the “false gods” that lead me astray. I’ve printed it out so I can post it on my kitchen wall and read it every day.
All the glory be to God who put that to my heart! May He answer your prayer and mine!
