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 hardships 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
