Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

– Phil 4:11-13

Prayer

Lord, teach me the secret of contentment. Guard my heart from being controlled by circumstances, whether in lack or in plenty. Strengthen me through the sufficiency of Christ. Amen.

Meditation

In what circumstances am I currently struggling to be content, and how might Christ be inviting me to depend more deeply on His strength?
