Serenity Prayer

I'd like to start off 2008 with a beautiful prayer that resonates truth and wisdom that we all need to guide us in our daily lives.


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 things all 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.
