THE SERENITY PRAYER

God grant me the Serenity,

to Accept the things,

I cannot change;

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 hardship; 

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.
