Lord give us a spirit,
of joy and contentment
not one of bitterness
envy or resentment.

Help us to be at peace,
no matter what our state
so we will not be filled
with jealousy or hate.

Lord, give us a spirit,
of delight and gladness
not one full of rage
lunacy and madness.

Teach us to be brave,
amidst discouragement
so our action won’t be
caustic or too astringent.

Lord gives us a spirit,
content where we are
in a world that’s become
absurd and bizarre!

Philippians 4:11

Not that I speak in respect
of want: for I have learned,
in whatsoever state I am,
therewith to be content.
