The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity

To accept the things I cannot change;

Courage to change the things I can;

And 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 and ever in the next.

Amen
