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.
-- Reinhold Niebuhr
