“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 moment at a time,

Accepting hardships as a 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,

So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,

And supremely happy with you,

Forever in the next.”

Reinhold Niebuhr
