1. Contentment is not automatic - it must be learned. Contentment comes from within, not from external circumstances.
2. Worry and anxiety are destructive. The alternative is prayer - coming to God with worship, requests, thanksgiving. This results in God's peace guarding our hearts and minds.
3. Life has ups and downs. Our strength comes from Christ living within us, not the situation.
4. Focus on what you have, not what you lack. Have an attitude of gratitude.
5. God promises to meet our needs - He knows what we truly need more than we do. Trust Him.
6. True contentment is found in Christ and His Word, not possessions, money or status. We must make the choice to seek Him.

The main message seems to be that contentment is available to believers who turn to God in prayer instead of worrying, rely on Christ's strength, focus on blessings rather than lack, and trust God to meet their needs. The key is an inner attitude of peace and gratitude in Christ.
