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.
