Let me resist the urge to mimic the materialism of others. Help me to emulate altruistic and other healthier behaviors. Let me see the best method to do things my way.
Help me to remember that greed is bad. Let me see that money is a means to an end, not the end. Help me to do everything I can to avoid the corrupting influence that even the smallest amount of wealth can generate.
Thank you for my material resources and everything they afford me. Help me to remember not everyone can afford to buy a book...or a meal. Let me find an appropriate way to share my success with those in need.
Help me to be conscious of other people's finances. Let me remember when my preferences are outside of my friends' means. Help me to elevate my friends financial status when I am able.
Inspire me to invest wisely. Please help me to be prescient enough with where I place my money and remind me to keep my risk to a minimum. Thank you for the opportunities I have and help me remember those that do not.
Help me take time to research and plans my major purchases. Let me not feel pressured or overly eager before making a purchase that affects my financial situation. Help me to weigh all the consequences and find a safe way to reach my goals.
Please grant me patience with my spending. Let me remember that instant gratification is rarely worth its increased cost. Help me remember there is almost always another opportunity when it comes to consumerism.
Help me to be more responsible with money. Let me consider the best use before indulging in decadence. Allow me to resist my impulses and weigh the consequences of my purchases.
Help me to be more generous when I am able. Let me not hoard every dollar to myself but share some of it with those less fortunate than me. Help me to know where I can make the largest impact with whatever amount I can part with.
