The Serenity Prayer

The Serenity Prayer

• God grant me the serenity to accept the things I
  cannot change courage to change the things I
  canand 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
  WillThat I may be reasonably happy in this
  life and supremely happy with HimForever in the
  next.Amen.
