The Serenity Prayer



A poem about Life being OK (emphasis added)

(Full Version)

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.

Amen
