Contentment
by Teresa Schultz I feel under appreciated and overworked. I'm exhausted, angry, frustrated and hurt. I know You never promised this life would be easy. But You did say You would never forsake nor leave me. I stopped trusting and believing in You, Because I could not find the right thing to do. You waited for me just to ask, But I hid behind rebellion and stubbornness. I built a prison to hide in, And returned to the same old sin. My rebellion and anger grew more and more. And yet, You kept knocking at my door. I closed off my heart, and Satan got in. He told me that You would never love me again. Self-pity and discontent were my constant companions, But still, You didn't leave me - You never abandon. You sent angels from earth - in family and friends, To remind me that You love the sinner, but hate the sin. And now, As I start the long journey back, Help me, God, to stay on the right track. Let me learn to be content and focus on You, No matter what circumstance I am going through. This thorn in my side - this addiction - may never be removed. But help me know that I can trust in You. So now I ask, still with some reservation, That You help me find again, the joy of my salvation. Help me be content, submit and trust You freely, That I may boast in Your grace and sufficiency.
