Serenity Prayer

by Reinhold Niebuhr

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.
