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 world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His will. That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
Amen
