The Serenity Prayer

 

God grant me the serenity


to accept the things I cannot change;


courage to change the things I can;


and 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, 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.

Requiescat in Pace




Trust in the LORD with all your heart


and lean not on your own understanding;


in all your ways acknowledge him,


and he will direct your paths.


Proverbs 3, 5-6
