The Serenity Prayer

GOD, grant me the serenity to

accept the things I cannot change,

Courage to change the things I can,

and the wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time,

enjoying one moment at a time,

Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace.

Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is,

not as I would have it.

Trusting that He will make all things right if I

surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably

happy in this life, and supremely happy with Him

forever in the next. Amen. -Reinhold Neibuhr-1926
