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 hardship as a 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.
Amen.
