THE SERENITY PRAYER
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.
