Daily Prayer Friday July 25, 2014 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength. - Philippians 4:12-13 Dear Lord, help me to remember that you are the X factor in my life. When I have you and your word, I have all I need, even all I want. Then you can give me more or less each day and I can be content. So much of my culture is built on striving to gain more that I easily slip into comparing myself and my situation with others and can get crabby or proud depending on what I find. It is a fascinating reality for me that when you give me less stuff that you are actually giving me an opportunity to grow, to learn and to give testimony to someone else. So, when I lack I actually abound. Help me to keep this secret of contentment before my heart every day so I live in peace and tranquility even when the cupboards might be skimpy. AMEN Pastor Don Patterson Contentment is not having what you want but wanting what you have.
