Serenity Prayer
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; Taking this world as it is and not as I would have it; Trusting that You will make all things right
If I surrender to your will.
