God Grant me the Serenity to accept
the things I cannot change,
the 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 a pathway to peace,
Taking 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;
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
And supremely happy with you forever in the next.
- Reinhold Niebuhr
