Prayer based on Acts 8:20. Themes: Money, Greed, Salvation

Dear Lord, please help us to understand that the gift of salvation cannot be bought with money. May we never be tempted to think that our wealth or possessions can earn us favor with you. Instead, may we humbly come before you, recognizing that salvation is a free gift that can only be obtained through faith in Jesus Christ. Help us to value the things that truly matter in life and to use our resources to further your kingdom and bless others. Amen.

Verse: But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!
