The spirit of contention

 For verily, verily I say unto you, he that hath the spirit of contention is not of me, but is of the devil, who is the father of contention . . . 

3 Nephi  11:29

The children of contention will dispute the time of day;

contradict the prophets and demand to have their say.

They listen not, nor ponder, but revere the arm of flesh --

surely they are falling into Satan's silken mesh!

Oh Lord give me the patient heart, the open mind and still;

that quietly I'll serve thee and do nothing but thy will.
