On Sunday, Darrin Patrick from The Journey in St. Louis taught on how we, as Christians, often times find our contentment in material things instead of God. Instead of seeking contentment in Him, we seek it in our life situations, our families, technology, etc, when we should really be seeking contentment in the only thing that can satisfy--God.
Here are a few things to consider:
-
Rate your contentment on a scale from 1-10. Why do you think you feel this way?
-
What are some things outside of God that you try to find contentment in? What do you believe will really make you happy outside of Him?
-
Knowing what these things are, pray that God would grant you the grace to not find contentment in them, but in Him instead.
-
Pray that God would be your strength and would be in control in your life.
