The antidote for covetousness is contentment.
The two are in opposition.
Whereas the covetous, greedy person
worships himself,
the contented person worships God.
Contentment comes from trusting God.

Psalm 37:5
Don’t worry
God is incomparable, irreplaceable…
““Think about this. Wrap your minds around it. This is serious business, rebels. Take it to heart. Remember your history, your long and rich history.
I am GOD, the only God you’ve had or ever will have— incomparable, irreplaceable— From the very beginning telling you what the ending will be,
All along letting you in on what is going to happen, Assuring you, ‘I’m in this for the long haul, I’ll do exactly what I set out to do,’…
I’ve said it, and I’ll most certainly do it. I’ve planned it, so it’s as good as done.”
- Isaiah 46:8–11, The Message
Fear is a liar
Never allow fear to keep you from stepping out into all that God has for you. For fear is not given to you from God, but from the author of fear, the one who wants to keep you from God’s best for you (Satan). That fear is usually a sign that you are on the right track. So stay on it, keep going.
For as Henry Ford once said;
One of the greatest discoveries a man makes,
one of his great surprises,
is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn’t do.
And the next time you are faced with a fear that is stopping you from stepping out into all that God has for you to be, bring it to God in prayer, then remember Henry (he didn’t turn out so bad), allow Philippians 4:13 to settle your spirit and do it afraid.
Trust God’s leading, He will not let you down.
I Am Trusting God
