Prayer of Contentment

I am in this place of discontentment, that I have been battling through for quite some time. My battle is wanting to move back to AZ or being content with living in Colorado. I know that through Christ, I can be completely happy and fulfilled living in either place, but with our history in CO, I tend to want to move back to AZ where life was good! It has been such a challenge living here, in all aspects!
As I put this whole battle in perspective, I know deep down that moving to AZ could be an escape to what God has called us to Colorado for, but I don't want to believe it! I am in complete denial that AZ is not the answer and plan that God has for us! I want it to be! I need to completely lay at God's feet His plan and purpose for our family! I need to completely trust in what that is, as hard as it may be!
There are so many pros and cons to living at either place. We need to just fix our eyes on what God wants for us! It is so hard for me to fully rely on God to obey what He wants for our lives, when I want to go back to AZ so badly! I don't want to walk in disobedience and move to AZ when that is not His calling! It is such a hard place to be in, and of course, I want to know His will NOW and not wait for His timing!
There are so many things that we are waiting to hear from Him about...where He wants us to live and do His will, whether or not another adoption journey is part of His plan, my career, whether PCCC is where we are supposed to be...
All I can do is wait for God to lead and guide our lives and make his plan and purpose for our lives known! Until then, I will pray, read His word, and wait for Him to open and close doors, and pray for contentment with where He currently has us.
