Searching for Contentment

     I'm not qualified to speak on the matter of contentment, since I haven't reached it. I know as a Christian I'm supposed to be content and rest in the assurances of God, but frankly I don't. My problem is unrest. My soul is ever searching to figure out the world around me, my place in it, and where God "really" wants me to be. But with this type of searching, comes unrest.
     If I truly believe that Christ is my Savior and Lord, then my rest would be at the foot of the cross, on my knees, giving thanks. I would be giving thanks to God for saving me, a completely undeserving human, to be His child throughout eternity.
     Forgive me Lord for searching this world for peace and rest, as there is no contentment to be had for a Christian in this world. My contentment, peace, and salvation come only through the Lord Jesus Christ and his ultimate sacrifice on the cross. Amen.
     As I was looking up scriptures on contentment, I came across this blog, which really spoke to the need for contentment in a Christian's life: https://bible.org/seriespage/lesson-21-prescription-contentment-1-timothy-66-8

1 Timothy 6:6-10 But godliness with contentment is great gain. ⁷ For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. ⁸ But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. ⁹ Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. ¹⁰ For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
