The Prayer of Contentment

That’s a good prayer. It’s also so counter-cultural.

This culture thrives on breeding discontent. It’s all about going into debt to buy things you don’t need to impress people you don’t like or who don’t like you. It’s really about the appearance of wealth more than actual wealth.

But once you are content and can say, “I have enough,” then you are free. You’re no longer a slave to stuff or status. You know that you have a treasure in heaven that neither fades nor rusts and that no one can steal.

Then you are free.
