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 worldas it is, not as I would have it; 

Trusting that He will make all things rightif I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with HimForever in the next


...Amen

                                   Trust in the LORD with all your heart
                                   and lean not on your own understanding;
                                   in all your ways acknowledge him,
                                  and he will direct your paths.
                                       Proverbs 3, 5-6


                             --by Reinhold Niebuhr
