Abba Father, I am concerned about how my life is going and I have many questions on my heart. This is just not how I thought things would be. I don’t feel settled and at peace in my life right now. Lord, I am struggling with contentment but I don’t want to continue like this. Lord, I need your help!
Lord, I am sorry for grumbling and complaining about my situation. I am sorry for getting worked up over earthly things when everything on earth is yours. I am sorry for worrying about my life and future when you declared my end from the beginning. I am sorry for not trusting you completely in times of uncertainty when you are the same yesterday, today, and forever, and there is no variation with you.
Lord, help me to always be grateful no matter what state or situation I find myself in. I acknowledge that contentment does not mean giving up hope, but rather, being at peace in all things, while still trusting you to bring about change. Lord, I surrender my life and future to you. I choose to believe that your plans for me are good and that you want the best for me. I choose to trust in your sovereignty and power to work all things for my good. Lord, help me not be anxious about tomorrow but rejoice in each day I am blessed to see.
Lord, help me not to compare myself to others and not to be jealous of others. Help me keep my eyes on you and trust you to work in my life how you see fit. Lord, help me to say like the Apostle Paul “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Lord, I desire to be stable in my relationship with you. I want to keep my eyes fixed on you and not on my circumstances, and I want to live a life of satisfaction and thanksgiving. Lord, I want only you to be my place of safety, my place of joy, and my place of contentment. I ask all these things in Jesus Name, Amen!
