GOD GRANT ME SERENITY

BY Reinhold Neibbubr

"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.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;

ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;

ACCEPTING HARDSHIP 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."
