Help Me Be Content

John 6:35 - “Then Jesus said, ‘I am the bread of life. No one who comes to me will ever go hungry. And no one who believes in me will ever be thirsty.’ ”

1 Corinthians 10:13 - “You are tempted in the same way all other human beings are. God is faithful. He will not let you be tempted any more than you can take. But when you are tempted, God will give you a way out so that you can stand up under it.”

Today’s Helpful Thought: To be content is to be happy with what we have. When we are content with God, it means that we would still be happy if all we had was God in our lives. We could give away everything we have and give up on everything we have ever wanted and be okay with everything we will never get. We could give everything we have away and still be okay because we have Jesus. Being content is like resting in God’s arms and knowing we are loved no matter what! 

Today’s Prayer: Dear Jesus, You are the One who knows what is best for me. I will say it, I am spoiled. I have more than I need You have taken care of me and given me so much! Sometimes, I get upset when I can’t have more. I am sorry for not being happy with what You have given me. I am sorry for always wanting more. Will You please forgive me and make me clean inside? Please take care of the people around me who do not have enough. Please, God, give them everything they need and more. Give them even more than what You have so nicely given me. Thank You Jesus, for doing these things that we have talked about!
