I can do all things

I think I spend way to much time trying to figure everything out. How I should act, what I should say, how I should feel, when I should feel, and how I should let go. I have spent these past couple of weeks trying to figure out every single detail of what I should do next. When I think God just wants me to be. To just be with Him and trust in His plan.

"I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in and and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through Him who gives me strength." (Philippians 4:11-13)

I lost sight of what it means to be content through the Lord. I began to rely on others and earthly things to satisfy me. But what happens when they go away? Where does my heart stand? Who am I resting in? Where do I lay my trust?

I need to learn how to be content with the Lord alone. If I am not content by myself, how can I expect to be content with someone else? God wants me. All of me. Not just some of me. But my whole heart. Every little piece of it. And now I have to learn how to be content. And strive to give my whole life to the Lord.

I want to be at a place where I am content with who I am and where I am. In whatever circumstance, I want to be at peace knowing "I can do all things through Him who gives me strength."
