Serenity Prayer

by Reinhold Niebuhr

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 hardships
as the pathways to Peace,
Taking, as He did,
this sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,

That I may be reasonably happy
in this life,
And Supremely happy
With Him forever.
