Loving God, my life is filled with so many good things,
with challenge at work,
with opportunities at home,
with possibilities to learn and grow.
I thank you for the gifts I have received
and ask you for the wisdom to manage them.
Help me resist the temptation to pile on
more and more good things
until what I truly love is lost from sight.
Give me the courage to throw out the things I do not need,
so that I may in time uncover
my own true self
and my deepest happiness
which is you. Amen.
