Serenity Prayer

 Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971)

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.
