He that would learn and live contentment must be a considering man, a godly man, a praying man. Consideration will do much, godliness will do more, prayer will do most of all. In the former, we have what reason and judgment can do; in the second, we have what a divine principle can do; in the third, we have what God himself can do. In consideration, we have the strength of the man; in grace, the strength of the Christian; in prayer, the strength of God: all of which being united, they must needs do the work effectually.

Thomas Jacomb — "How Christians May Learn in Every State to Be Content" (Phil. 4:11), Sermon XXVI, in The Morning Exercises at Cripplegate, St. Giles in the Fields, and in Southwark, ed. James Nichols, 5th ed., vol. II (London: Thomas Tegg, 1844), p. 553
