Praying with Paul: 'No Debt Except . . .'

Romans 13:8-10

Dear Father, senior partner in my business,

Help me get completely out of debt and stay out! Let me follow your word, "Owe no man anything! . . . except to love one another."

Help me be a good steward of my business affairs. Spur me on to work smart as well as hard. Let me be very wise, even shrewd, in the way I order my business. While conserving resources, let me move forward, even taking risks when such is best.

Help me, Father, to see you as the senior partner in what I do. And may I always render a generous portion of my income to do your work in the world.

In the name of Jesus and with the Spirit's help, I ask these things. Amen.
