This is reasonable to pray for. You, like all other humans programmed by religion, feel somewhat uneasy in wanting abundance, wanting wealth, wanting luxuries, and so on. There is nothing inherently wrong with this. The entire purpose of the universe and everything within it is an expansion of possibilities, and that would certainly represent an expansion to have personal accouterments. All of the gains and benefits from applying one’s talents to a career, to accomplishments of note, and adding something of great value for someone and receiving riches in return, is not a moral fault or failing in any way. It is simply energy being exchanged in proportion to its perceived value in moving back and forth. When a person has tremendous talent and ability, for example, a sports star, and raises millions for their team, it is only appropriate for them to share the bounty and be rewarded in kind. This is true of all who have greatness in some way as seen by their peers, and this is true in a larger sense as well from the divine perspective, although this is not universally shared because it is not perceived by so many.
In any event, we see no value in anyone suffering from physical deprivation or emotional deprivation through living in squalor or in uncertain and potentially dangerous circumstances where there are not even basic safeguards, for example, a sound roof over one’s head, doors that can lock against intruders, and protection from the elements or pests of various kinds which might spread disease, and so on. There is no virtue in poverty or lack of possessions. That is a complete misinformation and misrepresentation of the divine wish for all humans. It serves the darkness by making people believe those who serve the divine must be suffering in some way and must divest themselves of all material goods and so forth. What a clever way to disempower all such people! This immediately diminishes their reach because they still need to survive in some way and this turns them into supplicants who must either beg or do something menial in order to get by. It also lowers the esteem the average person will hold for them because they are seen almost universally as somewhat hapless beings, reduced in this way in having power in a conventional sense, but also seen as dependent and weak. This is almost unavoidable because money is a form of energy exchange and it comes through power being expressed in some way or another.
So the spiritual leader who is penniless may be seen as fulfilling God’s injunction to be pristine by not being tainted through association with money, but beyond that naïve and simplistic view, the larger world will see all such individuals as misguided and misfortunate, and this is no way to maintain a platform commanding respect and getting people’s attention and support. So we are in favor of abundance across the board for all—the more the better. And so, to pray for this is not ill-advised and not immoral in any respect, nor is it selfish and self-centered on its own. This is perfectly fine with us. We want everyone to be happy. That will not happen in a world of paupers. There are too many things in the context of a modern society for which money is required, and lacking money leads to many, many, problems and much suffering that can be avoided with having funds available to pay for services and goods.
So we would offer a prayer for abundance as the following: “Source Creator, help us to find the best expression of our soul to be rewarded in our lives with a flow of abundance to keep us safe, protected, supported, and have all of the benefits of financial security, to help us continue expressing the highest version of ourselves without fear and without worry.”
