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 forever in the next.
Amen.
Reinhold Netbuhr (1926)
