God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not 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 hardship as a pathway to peace,

taking as Jesus 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, so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
