Contentment is the ability to cope with the circumstances of life. Contentment is the sufficiency we found in LORD Jesus Christ.

Anxiety is uncertainty about future that we no longer control our circumstances. It steals our moment of joy.it is a thief, it effects health and it is a sin. Behind all anxiety is the fear. It is unbelief. Unbelief is the root cause of all anxiety.

Contentment is inner peace, I am able whatever circumstance because sufficiency comes from Christ, based upon Christ.

• We are born into a position of contentment. It is a transformation of the inner man, recognising their inability to deal with sin, guilt, the moment we accept LORD Jesus Christ, Christ becomes our life.  

Isaiah 48:22

22There is no peace, says the LORD, unto the wicked.

Isaiah 57:21

21There is no peace, says my God, to the wicked.

Wickedness is when a person a wilfully and knowingly rejects, defiles GOD’s right to forgive him his sins, GOD’s right to Lordship in his life.

Philippians 4:6-7

6Be anxious for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

7And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Contentment is the feeling that you are able to cope with the circumstances whatever might be. It is the sufficiency that comes in our sufficiency in Christ Jesus. It is the capacity to deal with my circumstances in life without restlessness or fear.

Opposite of contentment is anxiety, that you don’t have it in control, it is a sense of fear because we are not sure how our circumstances will turn out.

The key to our living to contentment, restfulness, quietness, peace, and confidence, unworried

*Praying is an expression of worship that LORD is omniscient. LORD knows all our circumstances everything was, is and will be.

* Praying is an expression of worship that LORD is omnipresence, everything happens in the presence of Almighty GOD.

* Praying is an expression of worship that LORD is omnipotence, everything is under His control.

-GOD knows all going on, how to handle my circumstances and the best timing. Come to Him in prayer and personal worship. I am coming to Him with petition. Knowing who GOD is and believing GOD will live out His life and His will for that moment.

Our prayer begins with GOD centred then pray as an expression to our need. Tell GOD how inadequate you are, tell GOD what your need is.

Turn to GOD first. GOD is always there to meet our needs. Giving up to GOD and rest in Him.

-I can do all things through Christ.

In everything by prayer and petition coming to Him I cannot do it own my own, I cannot handle it.

Philippians 4:13

13I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

2 Corinthians 12:10

For when I am weak, then I am strong.

When we are weakest we experience the greatest surge of omnipotence in Me. It is the weakness that we gain our strength, power of GOD flows through. Power of GOD does not flow who is strong in themselves it flows through humility before GOD and helplessness, praising and worshipping who He is and allow GOD to surge through in your life His very life.

-Being able to thank GOD in the mist of my circumstances I am acknowledging GOD knows what is best for me at that moment. In His omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotence and in His faithfulness. GOD I thank you who you are, I thank you that you heard my petition. I am expressing my faith in thanks giving.

The peace and contentment GOD gives will build a wall around your emotions and mind and will keep you in perfect peace. And the peace of GOD will put fortress around you. Peace of GOD will guard our hearts and mind and keep through Christ Jesus.

If you follow these steps you will be surprised what you can stand, what you can suffer, what you can go through with most perfect peace, assurance and confidence. Faithful GOD will care of it. You lay it before Him, walk off and allow Him to take care of the problem. That is genuine contentment.
