Moments for Mums: Endure - Part 1Prøve

I wish I could honestly say that I have learned to be content, whatever the circumstances. The last few years have been a season of worry, confusion, and change for many. Some days have been about surviving the minutes: 10 minutes until morning tea, we can be outside for 20 more minutes, the sun sets in 45 more minutes, and then I can put them to bed and lie down with Netflix. 

Whatever your circumstances have been, perhaps as we exit this strange season, we will have a fresh sense of what Paul is talking about in this passage—whether living in plenty or want, we can remain content in the strength that God has given us.

Question

How have you endured the last year? Content in God’s strength or surviving the minutes on your own strength? 

Prayer

Father, forgive me for the times I have held onto my own strength instead of resting in yours. Contentment doesn’t come from things or people; it comes from knowing your love for me. Please help me to be content whatever the circumstances.
