This is a prayer that I definitely need and so I thought I would share what I have written for others with the same struggle. It is essential that we have contentment with life or we will never be satisfied no matter what we have.
Prayer for Contentment
Lord Jesus Christ you knew both how to be abased and how to abound. I ask that you please teach my soul how to be content no matter what my station in life or my circumstances. May I be able to say in truth that you are enough for me. May I fully accept my lot in life and rejoice in the works that you have given me to do in you, not minding the things of the world nor being conformed to the world but minding the things of God. I thank you Lord for being my all in all and I praise you God for you are more than sufficient for me.
