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 Jesus did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it.
Trusting that you will make all things right
if I surrender to your will.
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with you forever in the next.
AMEN
