James 5:1-6; 2 Corinthians 8:9


My Father,
I am blessed and rich.
Thank you.

Forgive me 
where I have stolen from the poor;
where I have lacked compassion and hoarded wealth;
where I have lived in self-indulgent pleasure;
where I have fattened my body;
where gold and silver have corroded my heart;
where riches have rotted my values.

Forgive me 
because of the mercy and grace of Jesus Christ, 
who though he was rich yet for my sake became poor 
that by his poverty I might become rich.

Amen
