00:00:04.959 --> 00:00:09.039
<v SPEAKER_00>You may have heard Philippians 4.13 quoted before.

00:00:09.359 --> 00:00:14.720
<v SPEAKER_00>It says, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:22.719
<v SPEAKER_00>Oftentimes, we'll take this first and use it to pump ourselves up for whatever we want to accomplish.

00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:29.039
<v SPEAKER_00>But today, we're going to read a few verses that come before to get some important context.

00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:34.399
<v SPEAKER_00>Paul writes, I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.

00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:39.759
<v SPEAKER_00>I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.

00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:51.280
<v SPEAKER_00>I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.

00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:56.159
<v SPEAKER_00>I can do all of this through him who gives me strength.

00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:06.719
<v SPEAKER_00>Today, we're going to spend time in prayer asking God to help us learn contentment.

00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:13.200
<v SPEAKER_00>First, take a moment to thank God that his strength is steady in every season.

00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:27.920
<v SPEAKER_00>Praise him that his provision is not dependent on your circumstances.

00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:46.080
<v SPEAKER_00>Bring that before him.

00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:13.919
<v SPEAKER_00>Trusting that he is enough no matter what the season holds.
