“Most people say they’d be happy if they could just have more. But God often makes us content not by giving us more stuff or relationships but by giving us more humility and trust.” Erik Raymond, Chasing Contentment: Trusting God in a Discontented Age (Crossway, 2017)(110)
“We cannot be content in the present when we are nursing bitterness about the past. We are basically saying God failed us.” - Erik Raymond, Chasing Contentment: Trusting God in a Discontented Age (Crossway, 2017)(126)

“There are no wasted hardships with God.” - Erik Raymond, Chasing Contentment: Trusting God in a Discontented Age (Crossway, 2017)(127)
“It is a simple formula really: If you want to be content, think less about yourself and more about Christ.” - Erik Raymond, Chasing Contentment: Trusting God in a Discontented Age (Crossway, 2017)(159)
