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 the hardships as
the pathway to peace.
Taking as God did, this sinful
world
as it is, not as I would have it.
Trusting that God will make all
things right, if I surrender to God's will.
That I may be reasonably happy in
this life, and
supremely happy with God forever in the next.
-- Reinhold Niebuhr
