The Serenity Prayer

God,

Grant me the serenity to accept

the things I cannot change,

the courage to change the things I can,

and the wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time,

Enjoying one moment at a time;

Accepting hardship 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.

Amen.
