Father, I repent of all my sins, including adultery, in lusting over things of this world; in idolatry by way of financial idolatry: the worship of man, position and material things; greed, stinginess, self-centeredness, arrogance, pride, love of money, stubbornness and financial disobedience. Father, I repent of my doubts and unbelief in You concerning Your promise of financial abundance in my life – looking at not what You have done for me, nor that which You have laid up for me, but rather things that are temporal, the ill gotten gains of others, and wealth that may be lost to the vicissitudes of life and effect of bad governance. I repent for the misuse of the opportunities of improving my lot financially, and for the mismanagement of my finances and those put in my care. I am fully repentant that I have been like that servant who hid the talent you gave him in the ground. I repent of my failure to be transparent and honest with myself regarding my fortune or lack of it. I repent of living beyond my means, behaving like the Joneses, rather than been content with what I have, working assiduously for more and living in hope and character formed in Christ, the Horn of Hope and Hope of salvation. I repent that I have not given of mine to the Church and the people and causes God desires me to assist with all I have.
Eternal Father, Loving God, strip the forest of my misdeeds, and let everyone in Your Temple say Glory on my account; restore me in full Lord, and let me find adequacy and sufficiency in You. Lord God, let me enjoy Your goodness laid up for those who fear You and have repented of their sins – especially with money; let me be content with what I have and set my feet in a wide place. Lord God, Who sits as King for ever and is the Creator of the created order, hear my prayer and let my cry come unto You – so that I may be well placed while on earth to be clothed like lilies and fed as ravens Who You clothe and give bread – through Christ, Our Lord. Amen
