The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenityto 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 Jesus did, this sinful world

as it is, not as I would have it;

Trusting that God will make all things right

if I surrender to God’s Will;

That I may be reasonably happy in this life

and supremely happy with God

Forever in the next. Amen.
