Action Step

1. Thanksgiving can help us to be content. Take some time this week to give thanks to the Lord. Thank him for as many evidences of his grace that you can think of. If it is easier, journal a prayer of thanksgiving.
2. Take some time this week to write down what God has provided for us in our salvation in Christ. Write down as many things as you can think of. In addition, think of one or two areas of your life where you need to be reminded of specific ways God has provided for you in his Son (ex: comfort, peace, rest, etc.). Ask God to help you remember and experience what he has already provided for you in your time of need.
