The Serenity Prayer

Recently a friend gave me this: The Serenity Prayer. Most people know the first verse, but there are a couple more to it, and this is in fact where the meat of it lies. Enjoy!

The Serenity Prayer
Reinhold Niebhur 1926

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 hardships as the pathway to peace

Taking this sinful world as it is and not as I would have it
Trusting that You will make all things right as I surrender to Your will

That I may be reasonably happy in this life
And supremely happy with You in the next
