God,
I thought I had a good handle on my money, but clearly I was wrong. I need you to guide me in all my decisions. I need your wisdom. I need your patience. I need more of you in me!
In Jesus Name,
Amen

I stumbled upon your blog because my Google Alerts are set to pick up on blog posts about Compassion or sponsor children. I read your prayer and lifted you up to Him. What helps me is to keep a picture of our first sponsor child in my wallet. Her family lives on about $10 a month, so it helps me to gauge my impulse shopping. Bless you...
We have two sponsor children with Compassion, and realize how blessed we are. That is a good idea to remember them when wanting to impulse spend.
Thanks for commenting!
