Peter Marshall wrote a prayer that all of us should pray:
Forbid it, Lord, that our roots become too firmly attached to this earth, that
we should fall in love with things.
Help us to understand that the pilgrimage of this life is but an introduction, a
preface, a training school for what is to come.
Then shall we see all of life in its true perspective. Then shall we not fall in
love with the things of time, but come to love the things that endure. Then
shall we be saved from the tyranny of possessions which we have no leisure to
enjoy, of property whose care becomes a burden. Give us, we pray, the courage to
simplify our lives. Amen.
