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
