Description
Discontent easily arises when our desires aren't met and our plans don't come true—but it is a dangerous force that drives us away from God. The world insists that satisfying our desires is the path to fulfillment, but Scripture teaches us the value of seeking contentment instead. This daily devotional provides practical approaches to cultivating gratitude in specific life circumstances that make discontent easy.
In the 31-Day Devotionals for Life series, biblical counselors and Bible teachers guide you through Scripture passages that speak to specific situations or struggles, helping you to apply God’s Word to your life in practical ways day after day.

“Those of us who continually study contentment do so because we, like many others, have not fully “learned to be content in any and every circumstance” with the apostle Paul. Armed with the sword of the Spirit—the Word of God—Megan Hill has given us a wise and beautifully written daily devotional to help us attain this important Christian virtue. Its practical insights and applications, its simplicity and depth, its conviction and comfort will make this a daily devotional that I will return to often in my ongoing struggle for the great gain of godliness with contentment.”
