CONTENTMENT 1 Corinthians 7:25-35 http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=1+Corinthians+7:25-35Dear Father, head of our one enduring spiritual family,Thank you that you have not left us uninformed in matters offamily relations. Thank you for the apostle Paul's instructions,which tell us to be holy in body and spirit and to give ourselvesup to please you. Help me, Father, to do that.May we be content in the situations in which you have placed us.May those of us with spouses live, in a sense, as if we had none.May those of us who mourn over lost loved ones, in a sense, notmourn at all. May those of us who rejoice, in a sense, not be sojoyful. May those of us who buy and sell, in a sense, act as if wehave no goods. May those of us who deal with the world, in a sense,act as if we have no dealings with the world at all.What does it all mean? This world and the form of it are passingaway, so free me from all anxiety! There is no answer apart fromknowing that you are in control and will bring to pass your goodpleasure.Grant us rest in you! In the name of Jesus I lift up this prayerto you. Amen.
