God, grant me the serenity
to acceptthe things
I cannot change,
courage to change
the things I can
and wisdom
to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
accepting hardship as the path 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.
