Serenity 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, 

Taking one moment at a time.

 

Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace.

Taking this world, as Jesus did, 

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
