The 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 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.
