The Serenity Prayer

Pray the Serenity Prayer with meaning and faith. Ask God for the serenity to accept what cannot be changed, courage to change what can, and wisdom to know the difference.

The Serenity Prayer

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the 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 a pathway to peace; taking 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. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Philippians 4:11I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

James 1:5If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
