Serenity

Here is a prayer worthy of one's attention, whether one believes in God or not:

God grant me the 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 hardships 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

So that I may be reasonably

Happy in this life

And supremely happy with him

forever and ever in the next.
