Prayer for Serenity
O God, grant me 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 a pathway to peace;taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it;trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will;so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next.
- Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971)
