Always Content, but never Complacent

I will always strive to be content, after I have done everything that has been given me to do, and doing always that which is right, and as the Lord liveth, seeking the Lord my God in the name of his son Jesus Christ.

But I will never strive to be complacent, to accept the wrong doing, and injustice around me, and the evil that is beyond me to address. I will never call these things right, though I may be forced to live with them and among them for this short time on this earth.

May I never say "here is the good side of this evil on me, so the evil is not so bad," but rather "even though this evil is bad, God has granted me a goodness in spite of it." That is my prayer.
