... SERENITY....

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.
