The Serenity Prayer

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 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.
Amen.

Thank you for your blog. It was what I needed at the right time. I was at a lost on how to comfort a friend experiencing some hardships (child, financial). Your words on how it is our choice and to focus on the light during dark times are timely. Thank you again. I look forward to more from you.
