Holy Father, forgive me for grumbling. I know I've sounded just like the Israelites. I long to dwell not on the If Onlys but on You. Make me wise like the old woodcutter - content with what I know, not perturbed by what I don't know.

The Lord is my peace. I shall not live in anxiety. He puts me under His wing of comfort and calms my spirit within me. He takes all my anxieties on Himself and helps me to focus on Him. Yes, though I walk through a time of grave uncertainties and fierce anxieties, I will not fret - for You are my peace. Your Word and Your presence calm me now. You hold my uncertainties in the palm of Your hand. You soothe my anxious mind - You smooth my wrinkled brow. Surely serenity and trust in You shall fill me all the days of my life. And I shall keep my mind stayed on You forever.

I want to be a woman of focus. I don't want to live by default, but by design.

Ultimately, contentment is more a shift in attitude than a change in circumstances.

God can rid your heart of greed, but it's your responsibility to remove yourself from situations that promote greediness.

Sadly, God mentions no crowned nags in Proverbs.

Contentment is accepting God's sovereign control over all of life's circumstances.
