A woman who struggles -yes. A woman who hurts- yes, a woman who is looking to God and learning from Him- Yes. I am rubbish at contentment. I suppose because it is in smaller issues I don;t see it that clearly. If my fnances get lower I will have to be on my knees everyday for fear I will start to moan. Have you seen Sallies posts about what she has learnt in 40 years> One in particular stood out this week- that we will not grow and develop as the Lord's children without suffering. I think I have many things to learn in this life and I pray I may have the grace that you have been given to bear whatever the Lord will bring.

Show her that contentment as she desires, which is also as You desire, is a process ... something she learns a little at a time ... it builds upon itself ... as the lessons she teaches her son as she homeschools him. Fill her with Your strength, and enable her to reach the level of contentment that THIS layer of life has presented to her.

My hubby and I just prayed quite a similar prayer just this past week. Surgery has put a strain on our budget. God will provide the finances we need as our portion of payment comes due. I have come to claim a verse in Psalm 119:31 in times like this. Psalm 119:31 I have stuck (cleave) unto thy testimones: O Lord, put me not to shame. I claimed this in 1984-1994 now in 2007. He doesn't want our testimony or us to be put to shame. Love you sis in Christ. Your life continues to bless us. Praying for you. Thank you for your honesty.
