Serenity Prayer

We have heard it hundreds of times, but when is the last time you thought about it, as a secret to peace?

What a simple prayer.

What a simple way to live my life.

Today, I will re-read these words and use them as my anchor for this day.

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. Amen

Reinhold Neibuhr-1926
