Minimalism

Lord God,

We praise your name above every name. Above every thing. Above every thought. You are in our heart, Lord. We cry to you in times of need. In times of angst and worry. We cry to you when we need someone to lean on. You are our rock in any storm.

Lord, I have studied and done a lot with minimalism and declutter. Taught classes in it and tried to keep "stuff" to a minimum in general. Lord, I know we don't need things. And it seems that events and happenings lately make me think about this more and more. We are not in control of money and things. Our earthly lives are overseen by big government and big business. They "own" our bodies, our livelihoods, and everything except our soul. Our soul isn't for sale. You already paid the price on the cross and while we fret in this world about money and government and business and taxes or whatever it may be, I have freedom know my soul belongs to You.

Help us not get caught up in the stuff of this world. There is a different way. A different path you have for us. Keep us on the right path, Lord.

In your name I pray,
Amen.
