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;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to
Peace; taking as He did, this 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.
Reinhold Neibuhr, 1926
