For Pride is spiritual cancer: it eats up the very possibility of love, or contentment, or even common sense

C. S. Lewis

“Don’t worry about whether God is saying ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ to your prayer request. Don’t be downcast when the answer is not in sight. Quit thinking of faith formulas and methods. Just commit every prayer to Jesus and go about your business with confidence that He will not be one moment early or late in answering. And, if the answer you seek is not forthcoming, say to your heart, ‘He is all I need. If I need more, He will not withhold it. He will do it in His time, in His way; and, if He does not fulfill my request, He must have a perfect reason for not doing so. No matter what happens, I will always have faith in His faithfulness”

— David Wilkerson

Jesus felt weak & tired, He got frustrated, He wept aloud, He grieved, He sweat blood from great stress & anxiety, He felt physical pain. This is who you’re praying to. The One who knows.

Choose contentment

Flesh: you should have got that job, you’re doomed to a life of low paying jobs forever. You should be upset and wade in your disappointment.

“Contentment is the learned ability to remain happily satisfied in Jesus Christ no matter what is going on around or with us, good or bad, because we trust God with our lives! “ - Pastor Thabiti Anyabwile

Here’s to choosing that salvation and Christ are the best possible gifts one can receive.. and when what I want doesn’t happen, it’s not license to whine but to give glory to the Lord who “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”

—Romans 8:28
