GOD, grant me the Sereniy 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.
Amen
