Do you know that one of the reasons Jesus died on the cross was for the sin of covetousness? This is because covetousness is the mother of many sins. Thus, offering prayers of contentment and thanksgiving unto God is important as a Christian.
God speaking through Timothy in one of his teachings on contentment said “But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world.” [1 Timothy 6:6]. Timothy in the same teaching also said that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.
The statement above does not mean that God does not want us to be rich or prosperous, if He did, then He wouldn’t have said “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” [3 John 1:2 KJV]. All God wants is for us to be contented and have our eyes fixed on the ultimate price while we prosper.
God only wants us to be thankful both in good situations and bad, “Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus” [1 Thessalonians 5:18 NLT]. So, whenever you begin to notice that you get jealous of someone because of their possessions, have insatiable desires, start feeling like you’re not enough, or what you have is not enough, then I think you need these prayers for contentment below.

Summary On Prayers for Contentment

Was there ever a time you have felt as though you do not have all that you need in life? Have you ever felt that you aren’t enough? Have you ever felt incomplete in life?
Does it seem as if your needs in life are so overwhelming and by such you do not really have all that it takes to attend to those needs of yours? Have you been waiting for something but it seems as though it is not forthcoming?
I’m very sure that at different points in our lives, we have all experienced a period of lack and want.
Well, the truth of the matter is that even if you are given the whole world, you won’t be satisfied because the needs and wants of man in life can’t be satisfied and that is why it is important for us to be contented with whatever it is we have.
The needs and wants of a man are insatiable hence we need prayers of contentment to always keep our constantly growing appetite for the things of this world in check.
We all have our needs, it may be spiritual needs, financial needs, moral needs, physical needs, social needs, and otherwise.
If you are contented with what you have, you won’t covet. Practicing contentment may not be easy as you have to find satisfaction in whatever it is you have whether big or small but it is worth it.
One dangerous thing discontentment can do to you is to make you an ingrate and blind your eyes from seeing the good things you already have and also appreciate God for it.
The Lord wants us to be contented with whatever we have because discontentment will always lead us to engage in displeasing acts and not realize and appreciate God for whatever it is we have.
