Prayer based on Psalms 115:4. Themes: Idolatry, Materialism, Creation

Dear God, please help us to recognize that idols made of silver and gold, crafted by human hands, are not worthy of our worship. May we turn our hearts and minds towards you, the one true God, and seek to honor and serve you above all else. Help us to resist the temptation to place our trust in material possessions and instead find our security and satisfaction in you alone. Amen.
