Serenity


God,

 

grant me 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 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.
