True Contentment

1 Timothy 6:6-19 First command: "Pursue righteousness" Grow in virtue Second command: "Fight the good fight of Faith" Rejoice in God and trust Him. Third command: "Take hold of the Eternal Life" Live it now! (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
