Satisfaction

I'm learning more about myself on a regular basis these days.  I'm learning that I could easily fall into the habit of grumbling about my present state.  Discomfort could easily translate into dissatisfaction so I'm regularly encouraged to be on the lookout for reasons to be satisfied.
Right off the bat.... "See times of darkness as opportunities for My Light to shine in transcendent splendor.  I am training you to practice Peace that overpowers darkness."-Sarah Young (Jesus Calling).  Lord, I am satisfied with my current state because I am confident that I am being trained by You in all things necessary for my well-being.
Streams in the Desert focuses on Joshua 3:13-"As soon as the soles of the feet of the priests....shall rest in the waters......the waters shall be cut off."  The Red Sea wasn't parted as the people waited on the shore.  The miracle didn't occur until  they stepped into the water by faith.  These words give me the confidence to pray, "Lord, You are not only walking next to me but ahead of me as well.....'parting my waters', clearing my path.  How can I not be satisfied armed with that knowledge?"
"Satisfy us (me) in the morning with Your steadfast love, that we (I) may rejoice and be glad all our (my) days."-Psalm 90:14 (NLT).  Thank You, Lord, that I can confidently claim complete satisfaction with the plan that You have created especially for me.
I came upon this silly little prayer by an anonymous author that encourages me to strive for a spirit of satisfaction today:
"Dear God,
So far today,
I've done all right.
I haven't gossiped,
I haven't lost my temper,
I haven't been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish or overindulgent.
I'm very thankful for that.
But in a few minutes, God, I'm going to get out of bed;
and from then on I'm going to need a lot more help.
Amen."

"I am well pleased (satisfied) with Thy will, whatever it is, or should be in all respects....for Thou art infinitely wise and cannot do amiss, as I am in danger of doing."-The Valley of Vision.

On the health front, today I meet with Dr. Ambrad after my radiation treatment and get the news of what will happen with my oral chemo.  I'm claiming Romans 8:26, 27 since I really don't know how to pray on that subject.
