Discontentedness

Why? Why in the world am i so discontented? Why am I unhappy about others having things I don't have? Why am I so jealous? Lord, You have provided everything I need and abundantly more. You have given more than I could ever ask or think. Why am I jealous of other people's positions, or friends, or achievements? I am found in You! I need nothing else to survive. I rejoice in your covenant that has made it possible for us to even be able to communicate with you. Praise be unto YOU GOD! You deserve all praise and honor and glory forever! Why am I jealous that I didn't get O-Team, or Core team? It is so small a thing, and doesn't even matter. My friends have it, why do I need to have it too? Why am I jealous of other people's rooming situations for next year? You will provide for me what I need, and what will be the best for me. Lord, you are worthy of all my praise, and all the praise anyone could ever give and more! Thanks be unto you for your bountiful blessings unto me and unto your people. We fall so short and yet you give us more and yet more. Why do you love us Lord? We have no righteousness that you should desire our companionship, far from it Lord God! We are wretched and unworthy of even a minute of life, and yet you grant us years. Blessed by YOUR NAME! You give and take away, and give and give, and how can we possibly be unthankful for what you have given us when we do not deserve a grain of sand? Cleanse your people Lord, and draw us to yourself in a mighty way so that others may know that we are yours Lord. Be with your people wherever they are. If they are in a city, or in Haiti at this time, be with your people. We see the beauty of your creation, and how can anyone possibly not be moved to cry out a cry of thankfulness, and praise? It doesn't make sense Lord, what is going on in my life, in the lives of my family, but I give it to You. You are the LIFE and the LIGHT! How can we be so stubborn with our attitudes, and how can we not cry forth praise to you every moment of the day? How can we possibly think we are good enough for your love and grace? How dare we sin and think "His grace, His grace" in such a nonchalant manner of viewing your forgiveness. We deserve NOTHING! We deserve Death and Hell for all of eternity. We fail you Lord, and yet you let us come running back time and again. You are too gracious Lord! We do not deserve your kindness and compassion. Your Son made the way, and how can we not shout GLORY, GLORY, GLORY. GLORY BE UNTO YOU MOST HOLY FATHER! Praise and honor belong to you and to you ALONE! How can we be jealous, or discontented with others? How can we be content with our moderately complacent view of your forgiveness and grace? Glory be unto you most high God. Very God of very God. Your grace is sufficient Lord. Your grace is like an ocean, and you send grace upon grace upon grace. You let us commune with you, and yet we seldom remember to pray. How can we live without you great High Priest? Lord Jesus you intercede for us, You died for our transgressions and sins, and how can we look upon your love and grace so casually? Bring us to repentance Lord God Almighty, and draw us unto yourself. Be with the persecuted and afflicted Lord Almighty. Be with them and comfort them. Be a guiding hand of protection and let them feel your comfort. Let them feel your love. Be with them Lord. Lord God almighty. Be with your people, and dwell amongst us. Allow us to find our true identity in you and in you alone.
