For Contentment

Loving Father,
Fill me with contentment today. Let it be based on an awareness of my identity – that I am doubly yours! Not only did you lovingly and wonderfully bring me into existence to be yours with this gift of life, but you also paid the ultimate price to secure me back from Satan. I am yours twice over! Since I belong to you, every grand and gracious promise in your Word is mine, too. You will never leave me or neglect me. You will provide everything I will ever need. You will bring triumph out of any trouble. You will make right all wrongs against me in your own way and time. You will never lose patience with me. You will always love me. What else could I need when I have everything in you? Let my heart sing today with the beautiful harmony of gratitude and contentment. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Replace Unnecessary Concerns with Contentment

Loving Savior,
When you exhorted your disciples and followers not to set their hearts on earthly concerns like clothing and food, their worries at that time were of a different nature. Their concern was based on quantity – whether or not they would have enough of the basic needs of life. 

We, too, are concerned about things like clothing and food, but not for the same reasons. Very few of us have to worry about quantity – about having enough clothing or food. Instead, we focus on quality. We take for granted that we have enough and worry instead about having what is best or new or trendy. How easily we forget how blessed we are that we seldom have to worry about ever having enough! Nevertheless, when our hearts are attached to the stuff of this world, they will always find cause for concern or worry. Free me from that. Let me trust you to provide and bless me not with “more” or “newer,” but with contentment.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
