serenioty prayer


"God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

The courage to change the things I can,

And the wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time,

And enjoying one moment at a time;

Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace;

Taking, as Jesus did,

This sinful world as it is;

Not as I would have it;

Trusting that You will make all things right,

If I surrender to Your will; So that I

May be reasonably happy in this life

And supremely happy with You forever

In the next.

Amen"

Reinhold Niebuhr.
