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.

 

Reinhold Neibuhr - 1926
