Good morning Col Burroughs and it is another RED Friday.
Studies have shown that having enough money to pay for basic expenses without worry puts most people in a good place. Lots more money does not make them happier. In many cases it adds to worry and concerns. We are not wealthy but we have enough; I am happy because money occupies very little of my thought time except when I am paying bills or giving charity which I am grateful to be able to do. The older I get the less I need to buy and the more I value people and time above things.

Good RED Friday Sir! Money can't buy happiness is a great one but it is useful when you need food or a place to live. I've always believed money is more like a tool! If used correctly it can help not only you but others but if not that's when problems occur! Thank you Sir! Have a great Friday!

I expect that you realize that money is not directly linked to happiness and that both happiness and money are not evil in themselves. It is the lust for money, possessions, people, and power that is a root of much evil. I expect that you like me take to heart the admonition of the LORD "Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?” [Hebrews 13:5-6 ESV], my brother-in-Christ PVT Mark Zehner.
Thank you, LORD for providing for all of our needs in YOUR perfect time. You grow patience in us through the processes of waiting and enduring YOU lead us past gentle flowing stream as well as through the valley of the shadow of death for our edification and capability to bless others. Oh, fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him have no lack! The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing. [ Psalm 34:9-10 ESV }
I pray LORD that each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who reads this prayer is not lusting for material things. I thank you for sanctification throughout our life on earth. YOU prune us of lust and desires against what is best for us. YOU bless us with desires YOU fulfill in YOUR perfect timing. YOU always meet our needs. 'Oh, fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him have no lack! The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.' [Psalm 34:9-10 ESV.]
I pray LORD for wisdom and eyes to see for each of us. Enable us to be so familiar with YOUR Word that we can instantly spot false teaching and false prophecy in these darkening times. 'His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us toc his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire [2 Peter 1:3-7 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Friday night and will awake healthy on Saturday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.
