"A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones." All the days of the afflicted are bad, but a cheerful heart has a continual feast." "Godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment." "If they hear and serve Him, they will end their days in prosperity and their years in pleasures." "Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him; do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who carries out wicked schemes. Cease from anger and forsake wrath; do not fret; it leads only to evildoing." "O satisfy us in the morning with Your lovingkindness, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days." "For He has satisfied the thirsty soul, and the hungry soul He has filled with what is good." "The fear of the LORD leads to life, so that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil." "Do not fret because of evildoers or be envious of the wicked." "Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and delight yourself in abundance." "Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need." "If we have food and covering, with these we shall be content." "Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, 'I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you.'" "As for me, I shall behold Your face in righteousness; I will be satisfied with Your likeness when I awake." "The afflicted will eat and be satisfied; those who seek Him will praise the LORD. Let your heart live forever!" "With a long life I will satisfy him and let him see My salvation." "Who satisfies your years with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle." "The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the soul of the diligent is made fat." "He will not accept any ransom, nor will he be satisfied though you give many gifts." "Some soldiers were questioning him, saying, 'And what about us, what shall we do?' And he said to them, 'Do not take money from anyone by force, or accuse anyone falsely, and be content with your wages.'" "Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong."Contentment
