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 hardship as the 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.
