I’m not asking for the world, an overabundance of things
I know that in a society that never has enough, it seems strange
I am begging for you to give me just enough to get by, so I rely on you
There are things that would be nice, but they may take my focus off you
Living paycheck to paycheck is not the norm
But all I am asking for is for you to get me through the day
If we are honest, it’s out of our comfort zone
Today’s culture screams for us to get ahead we will be better off
Just enough money to pay the bills,
Just enough strength to step out in faith today,
Just enough energy to show others your love
Just enough stamina to make a difference for you
I don’t want to cheat to get ahead
I don’t want to lie to get even
I don’t need to worry about what my future holds
It says, you already know the plans
Proverbs 30:7-9
“Two things I ask of you, LORD;
do not refuse me before I die:
Keep falsehood and lies far from me;
give me neither poverty nor riches,
but give me only my daily bread.
Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you
and say, ‘Who is the LORD?’
Or I may become poor and steal,
and so dishonor the name of my God.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace,
and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.
