Affirmation

Two things I ask you Lord; do not refuse me before I die. Keep lying far from me, and let me be neither rich nor poor but give me only as much as I need.
Proverbs 30:7-8

The Lord is rich enough for the needs of all who call on him.
from Romans 10:13

The text from Proverbs was given to me by the Chief Elder while I was in Madison the first time, around 1976. After working with the Moravian confirmation class in 2000, I began to describe the verses from Proverbs as my confirmation text, by analogy with the Moravian tradition of giving a text to each newly confirmed member. This was not a Methodist tradition, so didn't get one when I was confirmed.
