learning to be happy

Dear Lord,

I am reminded that Paul wrote to us about contentment.

In his writing he told us that he learned to be content.

I wonder if learning to be happy and being content is related?

Bring wholeness and healing to us Lord.

Help us to find happiness in the things that we have.

Teach us to smile with our children and friends.

Bless us that we might find joy in unexpected places.

Help us to forget what lies behind and embrace the hope we have today.

In all things, and in all ways, help us to learn to be happy each new day.

Giving thanks we pray in your name.

Amen.
