“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.

“Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.’”
Hebrews 13:5 (NIV)

As you pray this week, ask God to help you rejoice in the happiness of others.  Pray that you would know the contentment of God’s abiding presence.  Pray that the allure of money would not distract you from finding contentment in simply having God with you.
