O 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 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;
that I may be reasonably happy in this world
and supremely happy with him forever. Amen.
