*************************
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 4:12
Pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge.
Pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge.
Psalm 62:8
It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; to declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness every night.
It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; to declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness every night.
Psalm 92:1–2 NKJV
Help us to learn the secret of being content in any and every situation. We realize that contentment-training is a challenging process — learned through enduring a wide range of difficulties. We thought we were fairly advanced in this training, but then the circumstances of life got harder. On some days we're able to cope fairly well with all the stress. On other days we just want out! Please teach us how to handle the “other days.”
We are so grateful that we can pour out our heart to You — acknowledging how frustrated and upset we might feel. Just releasing those pent-up feelings in Your Presence does us a world of good. Knowing that You completely understand us and our circumstances encourages us even more.

Lord,
Please deepen our awareness of Your continual Presence. We know we need to stay in communication with You — talking with You, bathing our minds and hearts in scriptures that speak to our situations. And singing praises to You lifts our spirit like nothing else! It is good to sing praises to Your Name — declaring Your lovingkindness in the morning and Your faithfulness every night. In Your loving Name, Jesus, Amen
