GOD'S PROMISES - CONTENTMENT

It is very hard to be content in your life when things are hard and not going the way you want them to.  Pray and ask God to give you contentment through all your circumstances in life whether lean or abundant.

"Remember your word to your servant, for you have given me hope.  My comfort in my suffering is this; your promise preserves my life."  Psalm 119:49, 50

"He tends his flock like a shepherd; He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young."  Isaiah 40:11

"I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.  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, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want."  Philippians 4:11, 12

"But godliness with contentment is great gain."  1 Timothy 6:6

"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

Galatians 5:22-26
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control.  Against such there is no law.  And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.  If we all live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.  Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying on another."
