Serenity Prayer

AMERICAN DIGEST: Comment on The Man Who Carried the Dark Lantern:

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.

--Reinhold Niebuhr
