“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?”
Matthew 6:25 (NIV)

This week our prayer emphasis will be on learning to live with contentment.  Contentment is a very godly character quality but one that is difficult to live — especially in a culture that is so focused on convincing people that they need what others have and they need more than what others have.  When Paul writes about learning contentment, the focus is on discovering that God is enough in the midst of any circumstance.  Pray that you would learn a spirit of contentment that comes from a complete trust in God.  Pray that the things of this world, and the things that others have, would not become a snare to you.  Ask God to teach you how to be content with what He has given and strive to make the most of it for His glory.  Pray that your lifestyle of contentment would lead others to know the abundance of God can be found in a relationship with Jesus.

“The fear of the LORD leads to life:  Then one rests content, untouched by trouble.”
Proverbs 19:23 (NIV)

As you pray this week, ask God to help you rejoice in the happiness of others.  Pray that you would have contentment through a life lived with a fear of the Lord.  Pray that you would experience times of contented rest as you live with a healthy fear of the Lord.  Pray that others would know a rest that can only come from godly contentment.
