Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. (NLT) -Philippians 4:11 Could you learn to be content without a new car, iPhone, or house? If we let them, our desires begin to control us with a never ending thirst that can't be quenched. It is a daily struggle to consistently trust that God will provide for our needs as He has promised. We can learn to be content when we rely on God's promises daily. When you find yourself wanting something today, try practicing contentment with what you have.

After telling everyone good-bye, he went up into the hills by himself to pray. (NLT) -Mark 6:46 Prior to this verse Jesus had performed a miracle by feeding thousands with only a bit of food. His immediate reaction is to draw away to pray and rest. Praying has a way of filling you up with energy, restoring, and recharging. It's very important if we have intense schedules or physically demanding duties, we take time to reconnect with God and restore ourselves. If you are able, take today to draw away, in order to draw close to the Lord. If today isn't possible, plan a day this week to do this.
