THE SERENITY PRAYER

God, grant me the serenity,

to accept the things I cannot change,

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 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 foreverin the next.
