The whole serenity prayer . .

       Prayer for Serenity

 

God grant me 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 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.
