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 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
