When we look at people who appear to have it all together, we envy them, especially when our life is not harmonious or as settled as we would like it to be. That is not to say that those we think have a perfect life really do, for Jesus said that in this world we will have trouble, and that is true for everyone. What we should consider is that discontent might actually be a sign that God is working in us to move us forward from where we are at, to a place where we will have new wisdom and understanding of His plan for our lives.
God is the one who began this good work in you, and I am certain that he won’t stop before it is complete on the day that Christ Jesus returns. (Philippians 1:6 CEV)
His glorious power will make you patient and strong enough to endure anything, and you will be truly happy. (Colossians 1:11 CEV)
Prayer: Gracious Father, Help me to live in the light as You are in the light. My desire is to endure and persevere through anything I encounter believing that You will make all things right as I surrender to Your will. Amen
