The Serenity Prayer
God, grant me the Serenity
To accept the things I cannot change
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdow 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 nest.
Amen.
Prayer attributed to Reinhold Neibuhr. It has been adopted by Alcoholics Anonymous and other twelve-step programs.
