Prayer for Serenity

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot 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 hardship as a pathway to peace,

Taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is,

Not as I would have it; Trusting that you will make all things right

If I surrender to your will;

So that I may be reasonably happy in this lifeAnd supremely happy with you forever in the next.

Amen
