Enough

Our blessings are legion,

O Lord, but that doesn't mean

that demons aren't

swirling in our lives,

attempting to possess us.

We find ourselves surrounded

by Consumption and Greed,

by Comparison and Indifference,

by Judgment and Fear.

Cast out all of these

who would influence us

to want more and love less,

 to hoard more and give less.

Show us the lie

of Scarcity that we

may live the truth

of your Abundance.

Into the places where Hurt

and Anxiety creep,

pour in your Grace

that it may seep

all the way to the marrow

of our souls, and we

may find the truth of Enough.
