Being Content in Life

Do you ever feel like your life is out of control? This is not uncommon to feel because the world around us is changing all the time. We often don’t have control of what is happening, and this can be unsettling. This lack of being in control can cause great stress and anxiety. When you are not in control you can feel lost and unfocused. You realize that there are forces beyond you that are creating these changes.

Sometimes it can be overwhelming when you find yourself in this place of being lost. Where are you to go? What should you be doing? Is what you are doing what you should be doing? What is your purpose for living? These questions and more flood your mind causing you to lose perspective and question your life. Even more, you can begin to question your importance and value in this world.

There is a way to have peace and hope. There is a way to be content even in the midst of troubles and challenges. This comes from understanding that you were created with purpose and importance. The Bible tells us that we are created in the image of the very creator. We are made by God as wonderful creatures. We are made with purpose and our lives make a difference. When we focus on this truth we understand that the challenges, problems, and changes are just part of the journey. We can be content because there is a work we are called to do and a reason that we exist. Rest in this truth and find your contentment in God.
