Serenity

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
Forever in the next.
Amen
Ahh!! This prayer should be a beginning to every day and a benediction at the conclusion of every day.
Some of us are in too big of a hurry to proceed and succeed.
But sometimes it's best to reflect before we act and react.
If we live one day at a time, one moment at a time, then we can be more serene and less mean.
We must accept adverse circumstances on the pathway to peace.
Sometimes we must experience adversity to appreciate a more tranquil time.
Serenity is in the mind of the beholder.
But chaos brings confusion.
Be serene by accepting the things you can't change and permitting God to intervene and provide guidance.
Be courageous and take a stand for the right things and do them in the right way.
Then ask for wisdom from God and learn from one's mistakes.
Try to be happy no matter the circumstance.
If adversity strikes, make a list of the blessings God's ordained in your life.
