Day 356. How can you keep this commandment? (2025)

Today is day 356 and we are studying The Tenth Commandment.

356. How can you keep this commandment?

I can keep this commandment by learning contentment: seeking first the kingdom of God, meditating on God’s provision in creation and in my life, cultivating gratitude for what I have and simplicity in what I want, and practicing joyful generosity toward others. (Exodus 35:20–29; 36:2–5; Psalms 104; 145:15–21; Ecclesiastes 5:10; 2 Corinthians 9:6–15; 1 Timothy 6:6–10; Hebrews 13:5)

We will conclude today by praying Prayer 116.A Litany of Thanksgivings found on page 680 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
