Yesterday, a verse that I have heard often since my youth came to mind. 

Philippians 4:12 “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.”

Desire and want can be overwhelming.  They can possess a person and take over their state of mind. 

Learning to live with a desire and want can bring liberation to the holistic body.  The secret is Christ.  Learning to live and breathe and walk and be carried as we follow his example. 

Recently, I was asked how I was going to live with a situation in my life that will most likely never change.  I think the answer is found in this verse.  I will learn to be content.  I will learn not seek to satisfy that desire outside of my relationship with God.  He will supply all my needs in Christ and continue to use me as blessing for those around me as I live “content in any and every situation.”
