Serenity Prayer

Everyone knows this...probably.

"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."

Good stuff..but it becomes great stuff when you read the entire prayer written by Reinhold Niebuhr.

It concludes with:

"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 would 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."

Can't add anything to that. As I said.....great stuff!
