One of the most difficult things is contentment. Not knowing if we are in God's will or if our desires are outside of his will. Today we will pray for contentment. Believing that everything in our life is working for his good.
"Dear Lord, help me in my feelings of discontentment. Help me to be appreciative of all that I have and all that you have given me. Assist me to know that all things come from you. When I long for things that do not come, help me to appreciate what I do have. When I covet things that are not mine, forgive me, when I hope for things that are not to be, forgive me for my lust and help me to be content in what I do have.
When I search for your will in my life let me know when I am in your will. Perhaps I am in your will now, and do not realize it, perhaps I am where I am supposed to be, even when I long to be somewhere else. Let me hold onto your word that tells me that I "Should be content in all things" and that you "know the exact times and place we should live." Even when I am not satisfied, help me to be satisfied, when I am not as happy as I want, help me to be happy in what I have, help me to know you and to feel you working in my life. To appreciate my family, my friends, myself and you. Allow me the peace of contentment. It is in your name I pray. Amen"
