The Serenity Prayer

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.
