• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Good morning, good morning, good morning.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: I am sery Nacky and his time first to go
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: to God in prayer, and I ask that you always
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: join with me in prayer. You know, I think about
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: sometimes in life, if we stop focusing on what everybody
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: else is doing and run our own race, we wouldn't
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: be so dissatisfied with our own lives. We look at
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: other folk children and how accomplished they are, and what
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: they're doing and all this other stuff, and then all
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, our children aren't doing enough.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: We look at our home, and we look.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: At somebody else's home, and all of a sudden, the
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: home that we live and the home that we're comfortable
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: and in enough. The car that we drive, all of
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: a sudden isn't good enough because somebody drives one that's better.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: We've got to learn, family, to be satisfied.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: We need to.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Stop comparing ourselves to others and be satisfied with who
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: God created us to be. Now, let me be clear,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: I don't mean complacency. I don't mean settling and saying
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: what I have is good enough. No, So if God
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: has greater for you, go further greater, but not because
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: it's what somebody else has see. A complacent person is
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: very pleased with themselves and feel like they don't need
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: to do anything else about their situation. The situation can
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: be horrible and they'll stay right there. The situation can
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: be dangerous, they'll stay right there. They're complacent. No, that's
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about being dissatisfied
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: because you're comparing yourself to somebody else. The Bible says
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: that satisfaction is a feeling of contentment and that it
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: comes from having a relationship with God. It also says
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: that satisfaction can be found in any situation, even if
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: it's not where you want to be in the future.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: You could be satisfied where you are right now.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Philippians four eleven says, not that I'm speaking of being
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: in need, for I've learned in whatever situation I am
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: to be content. Hebrews thirteen five says keep your life
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: free from the love of money and be content with
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: what you have. It doesn't mean that God doesn't want
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: you bless It doesn't mean that God doesn't want you
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: to have money. But see when your whole goal and
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: everything is focused on money, the love or lust of money,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: that's when you got a problem. And then First Timothy
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: six sixth through eight says godliness with contentment is great gain.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Now let's pray, Father, God, in the name of Jesus Christ,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: we come before you with hearts full of gratitude for
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: the many, many blessings God that you've already given us.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Help us God to focus on the beauty of our
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: own journey and to trust in your perfect timing for
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: our lives. That in your perfect time and you're going
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: to bring to pass all of the promises that you've
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: made us. Grant us the strength to avoid God, comparing
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: our lives to other people. Let us see that the
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: path that you have us on is uniquely ours, and
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: that we are enough God, just as we are. Protect
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: us God from the feelings of inadequacy or envy, and
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: remind us God that our worth is not defined by
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: what others have or what others do. God, we pray
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: for hearts that are satisfied with.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Where we are, but not complacent.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Let us find joy God in the present moment and
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: seek growth in ways that honor You.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Lord.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Let our desires align with your will for our lives.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: God.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Let us have the courage God to pursue God your desire,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: your will, your planing for our.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Lives, with patience and with faith.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Teach us God to appreciate the journey, to see the
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: value in every experience. And Lord, let us trust that
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: all things are working together for our good. God, let
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: us find peace and knowing that you have a good
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: plan for our lives, and that that plan is so
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: good as far above anything we could imagine, ask, or think. God,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: we trust in you and we'll be satisfied in you and.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: With you in Jesu's name. Amen. Amen,
