My Morning Prayer: Conversations 4

My Morning Prayer: Conversations 4
-Roy Lessin and Marina Bromley

Conversations 4
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow
 
The tempter said to me:
I know you want the best things for your children. 
If you could give them one gift of great value would it be—property, cash, stocks, or precious metals?
 
I answered:
Regarding the treasures of this world, the best possession I can pray for my children is to have their hearts filled with contentment.
 
After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it. So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content (1 Timothy 6:7-8 NLT).

No weapon formed against you shall prosper, 
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment 
You shall condemn. 
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, 
And their righteousness is from Me,” 
Says the Lord.
Isaiah 54:17 (NKJV).

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Father, it is too easy to get caught up in the races of fame and fortune in today's world. I believe that it is even harder for my children and grandchildren to not measure their value by what they possess. Change our measuring point, Lord. Thank You for providing all that we need, before we even ask or think. Help us, Lord, to remember that You have clothed the sparrow and the lilies of the field, and their splendor is unmatched in the world. Make us value this gift of contentment, and to slow down to enjoy each thing You have placed around us. I desire to draw closer to You, and I pray the generations that come behind me will learn to value this commitment too. Help us to see You more clearly, Lord. We love You and praise You. In Jesus's name, amen.
