serenity prayer

God grant me the Serenity to accept the things that I cannot change,
The Courage to change the things that I can
And the 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.
