Serenity Prayer

Most anyone can recite the Serenity Prayer. Well, the first verse anyway. It has become almost secular in it's application. It has actually become secular and benign almost, like a mantra. But read the REST of it, appreciate it's fullness and know that He is God...

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.

--Reinhold Niebuhr
