You shall have no other Gods before me

Worry, financial insecurity, past difficulties, image, national pride, money, career, investment account, reputation, power, future career, family, emotion, personal pride, other peoples opinions, sex, comfort, relationships, "fixing" others, health, prayer, holy life, practice, internal image of God, piety, etc, etc
