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,
the 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.
Amen
