Lord, Forgive me for the times I complain or chase after fulfillment in things that cannot satisfy. I confess my discontent and turn my eyes back to You, the only source of true joy. Help me to delight in You — to find peace, pleasure, and purpose in Your presence alone. Transform my desires so they reflect Your heart. Teach me to rest in gratitude, even in the ordinary, knowing that life with You is my greatest gift. May my contentment in You shine as a testimony of Your goodness and grace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
