Contentment
O God,
Help us to be content with the way things are; that is, insofar as we are reasonably certain that our heart’s desire has been to pursue your will, help us to be content with the circumstances in which we find ourselves rather than fretting over any struggles or suffering we may be undergoing.
At the same time, help us not to be content with the way things are; that is, so long as there are people experiencing injustice, oppression, suffering, sickness, and lostness, help us not to be able to rest until everyone and everything is at peace.
Bless us with both holy contentment and holy discontentment …
Amen.
