SERENITY PRAYER
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 life
and supremely
happy with You forever in the next .
AMEN
