A state of peaceful calm, encapsulated by psalm 131:

My heart is not proud, LORD, 
       my eyes are not haughty; 
       I do not concern myself with great matters 
       or things too wonderful for me.

But I have calmed myself 
       and quieted my ambitions. 
       I am like a weaned child with its mother; 
       like a weaned child I am content.

Nicola Jane, put your hope in the LORD both now and forevermore.
