  Speaker 1: I am Sherry Knacky and his time for us to
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: go to God in prayer, and I ask that you
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: always join with me in prayer. You know, I think
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: about sometimes in life, if we stop focusing on what
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: everybody else is doing and run our own race, we
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be so dissatisfied with our own lives. We look
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: at other folk children and how accomplished they are, and
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: what they're doing and all this other stuff, and then
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, our children aren't doing enough. We
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: look at our home, and we look at somebody else's home,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the home that we live
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: and the home that we're comfortable and in enough. The
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: car that we drive, all of a sudden isn't good
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: enough because somebody drives one that's better. We've got to learn, family,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: to be satisfied. We need to stop comparing ourselves to
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: others and be satisfied with who God created us to be. Now,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: let me be clear, I don't mean complacency. I don't
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: mean settling and saying what I have is good enough. No,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: if God has greater for you, go Father greater, but
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: not because it's what somebody else has. See a complacent
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: person is very pleased with themselves and feel like they
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: don't need to do anything else about their situation. The
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: situation can be horrible and they'll stay right there. The
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: situation can be dangerous, they'll stay right there. They're complacent. No,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about being
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: dissatisfied because you're comparing yourself to somebody else. The Bible
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: says that satisfaction is a feeling of contentment and that
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: it comes from having a relationship with God. It also
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: says that satisfaction can be found in any situation, even
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: if it's not where you want to be in the future.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: You could be satisfied where you are right now. Philippians
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: four eleven says, not that I'm speaking of being in need,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: for I've learned in whatever situation I am to be content.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Hebrews thirteen five says keep your life free from the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: love of money and be content with what you have.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that God doesn't want your blessed me
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: that God doesn't want you to have money. But see
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: when your whole goal and everything is focused on money,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the love or lust of money, that's when you got
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: a problem. And then first Timothy six six through eight
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: says godliness with contentment is great gain. Now let's pray, Father, God,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus Christ. We come before you
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: with hearts full of gratitude for the many, many blessings
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: God that you've already given us. Help us God to
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: focus on the beauty of our own journey and to
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: trust in your perfect timing for our lives. That in
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: your perfect tim and you're going to bring to pass
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: all of the promises that you've made us. Grant us
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the strength to avoid God, comparing our lives to other people.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Let us see that the path that you have us
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: on is uniquely ours, and that we are enough God,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: just as we are. Protect us God from the feelings
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: of inadequacy or envy, and remind us God that our
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: worth is not defined by what others have or what
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: others do. God, we pray for hearts that are satisfied
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: with where we are, but not complacent. Let us find
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: joy God in the present moment and seek growth in
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: ways that honor You. Lord. Let our desires align with
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: your will for our lives. God. Let us have the
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: courage God to pursue God your desire, your will, your
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: planing for our lives. With patience and with faith. Teach
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: us God to appreciate the journey, to see the value
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: in every experience. And Lord, let us trust that all
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: things are working together for our good. God, let us
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: find peace and knowing that You have a good plan
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: for our lives, and that that plan is so good
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: as far above anything we could imagine, ask, or think. God,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: we trust in you and we'll be satisfied in you
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: and with you in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen,
