The world is not enough.
That’s the simple truth about life.
We always want more and more and more.
But as Christians, we must learn to be content with what we have.
Discontent and dissatisfaction can lead to terrible sins.
There is hardly any sin today that is not driven by the lust for worldly things.
People steal because they want more.
Married people commit adultery because they are not satisfied with their wives or husbands.
In all things, even in difficult times, we must be content.
I have put together this powerful prayer for contentment to help you with your lust.
My God will deliver your thoughts and return peace and happiness to your life.
Amen.
