Prayers for Contentment

DAY 3 OF 3

The Bible teaches us that true contentment comes from recognizing that everything we have is a gift from God and being thankful for His provision. When we trust in Him and His plan for our lives, we can find peace and contentment, even in difficult circumstances.

So, let’s strive to follow Paul's example and seek to live godly lives, finding contentment in all circumstances. When we do, we will experience the "great gain" that 1 Timothy 6:6 speaks of – a sense of peace, joy, and fulfillment that surpasses anything the world can offer.

Dear God,

Your word reminds me that godliness and contentment go hand in hand, as 1 Timothy 6:6 says, "But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment."

I pray that you would help me to focus on the things that truly matter and help me break the discontent in my life. As 1 Timothy 6:7-10 reminds me, "For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that."

Help me to keep my life free from the love of money and to be content with what I have, as Hebrews 13:5 advises. And help me to examine my motives for wanting more, as James 4:1-3 warns that often our desires for pleasure and wealth can lead to conflicts and quarrels.

I pray that my heart would always be first and foremost for you and not mammon. I know that I can’t serve God and money and I must choose a master. Therefore today I affirm that I choose you to be the Lord of my life. But I also understand that money is a tool that can be used for Kingdom advancement, so help me to see it through that lens and make wise decisions accordingly.

Lord, I pray that you would help me to find my satisfaction and contentment in you alone, knowing that you are the greatest gift and more than enough for me.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
