Pray for the Graces of Contentment and Patience
I must pray for the graces of contentment and
patience, and a holy indifferency to all the things of sense and time.
Lord, teach me whatsoever state I am in
therewith to be content; let me know how to be abased and how to abound; every
where and in all things, let me be instructed both to be full and to be hungry,
both to abound and to suffer need. Philippians 4:11-12(KJV) And let
godliness with contentment be great gain to me, 1 Timothy 6:6(KJV) and
a little with the fear of the Lord and quietness, be better than a great
treasure and trouble therewith. Proverbs 15:16(KJV)
Lord, grant that my conversation may be
without covetousness, and I may always be content with such things as I have, Hebrews
13:5(KJV)still saying, The will of the Lord be done. Acts 21:14(KJV)
Enable me in my patience to possess my
own soul; Luke 21:19(KJV) and let patience always have its perfect
work, that I may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. James 1:4(KJV)
Lord, give me grace to weep as though I
wept not, and to rejoice as though I rejoiced not, and to possess as though I
possessed not, and to use the world as not abusing it, because the time is
short, and the fashion of this world passeth away. 1 Corinthians
7:29-31(KJV)
