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 life 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
Reinhold Niebuhr
The Serenity Prayer is my main-stay. It keeps me grounded and on the right track.
In the next few days, I will be examining it line-by-line and talking about what it means to me.
