She who laments her singleness or married-ness,
children or lack of children,
finances or lack of finances,
overabundance or absence of work,
busyness or lack of busyness,
happiness or lack of happiness,
"calling" or lack of "calling,"
"too"-spiritually-focused husband or completely ungodly husband...
...She has not come to know peace. She has not yet realized that each season of life is a gift of God--always either allowed by God or GIVEN by God, who knows precisely what each of us needs. This is an incredible fact... Why doesn't it inspire gratitude and joy!?

Emotions are God-given (some of them), but they are not our god.
Contentment is a priceless thing. To long for what is not, is to miss what is. And that "is" has been allowed or orchestrated BY GOD. For some purpose. Our spiritual act of worship is to offer our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God. Period. This says nothing about location or circumstances.
