Good Morning, God,
The headlines recently spoke about the city of Detroit, Michigan, filing for bankruptcy protection. The headlines have also been about other cities around the U.S. having similar problems. We haven't heard that much about Indiana cities, but recently there were headlines about Indianapolis and Huntingburg and the budgets of our different local schools.
Some of the news is good news; other news gives us pause. And, while the stock market is doing well overall and it is reported that our credit card debt is actually going down, many, if not most, people still live from paycheck to paycheck.
Gracious God, it almost cost too much to live these days! It costs a bunch to have babies, to stay healthy, to live in a nice home, to get married, to go out to eat, to have our nice cars, to wear appropriate clothes, to take vacations… It even costs a whole bunch to die and be buried.
Gracious God, show us how to prioritize how we spend our money, both personally and publicly.
In Jesus' name, Amen
