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.
Serenity Prayer (perhaps original)
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.
- Commonly attributed to Theologian Reinhold Neibuhr
