Reflections: Serenity Prayer

Dear Friends,

Our precious Abba Father has brought a special reminder of this prayer into my life this past week. I share it with you in hope that it will bring you strength and wisdom:

The Serenity Prayer

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 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.


~Dr. Reinhold Niebuhr
