Content

You brought me more happiness than a rich harvest of grain and grapes. ~ Psalm 4:7 (CEV)

I have learned how to be content in any circumstance. ~ Philippians 4:11b (CEB)
Regardless of what happens, Lord, you have satisfied me. You have given me everything I really need. Sometimes I start to long for more stuff -- but then you remind me of all the great blessings in my life. If you send more things my way, that's okay. If you allow me to become poor, that's okay, too. I know that I can trust you to take care of me -- even when I don't really know what will happen in the future. Thank you. Amen.
