Serenity Prayer

God, Grant me the Serenity
To Accept the things I can not Change,
The Courage To Change the things 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 in the
Life to Come.

Amen.
