Satisfied

Am I satisfied with Christ alone? I would like to think that I would be able to honestly reply to that question affirmatively. However, I find myself hesitating. What is it about living in the world that I feel like I need things to hold on to or people to fill my days? If I had to choose between the things of this world or my relationship with God, how trivial the things would seem and yet they hold more allure for me than I wish they did.

God, help me to know that if I have nothing else in this world, that you are enough. May your love, grace, strength, presence, hope, guidance, support, refuge, faithfulness... be more than enough to satisfy me-that I won't turn to anything else, but instead cling to you.
