True Contentment
1 Timothy 6:6-19

(NIV)
Finding Contentment
Serenity Prayer
God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I can, and the Wisdom to know the difference; living one day at a time; accepting hardship as a pathway to peace; taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it:
Trusting that you will make all things right If I surrender to your will; that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with you forever in the next.
Next:
Living one day at a time; accepting hardship as a pathway to peace.
If I surrender to your will; that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with you forever in the next
1 Timothy 6:6
The equation:
Surrender to God’s will in our life + accept the hardship that comes our way as God’s will for us = Contentment & Contentment leads to Godliness
1 Timothy 6:7-10
1 Timothy 2:11-12
