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 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.
