You should always just be happy in PRAYER (in the presence of the Lord). The things of this world, it's pleasures and pains, come and go - pay no attention to these things - good or bad - certainly never let them distract you from PRAYER - BEING in the presence of the Lord.
Seek not the things of the world or the attention of people - Seek only to be in the presence of the Lord. From there all else follows - right thought - right speech - right action.

Pete, thank you for your wise words teaching us that within our life, lives the presence of The Saviour inviting us to listen too, and follow His counselling in all matters.
20 Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, ‘The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, 21 nor will people say, “Here it is,” or “There it is,” because the kingdom of God is in your midst ~ Luke 17
