He is dissatisfied with his present state. His contentment is a dissatisfied contentment. But he also knows that his experience of these blessings is not as full as it could be. Therefore every believer, whose contentment is really from the Spirit of God, is a dissatisfied believer. And therefore every true believer is a person who prays.
Prayer is the heartfelt expression of holy dissatisfaction.
The more satisfied you are with yourself the way you are and with the world the way it is, the less you will pray. Little prayer signifies little desire for God. Perfunctory prayer signifies a perfunctory relationship with God. We come to the end of a decade today. And I pray that we are looking back with a proper mingling of great gratitude and deep contrition.
