S e r e n i t y  P r a y e r

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,

enjoying one moment at a time,

accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,

taking 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.

- Reinhold Niebuhr
