The Serenity Prayer

God, grant me peace
to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living and practicing your presence one day at a time,
accepting hardship, sharing in your sufferings, and bearing my cross,
give me the grace to keep my mind fixed on you.

Jesus, teach me to relate to this sinful world as you did,
trusting that you are making all things right,
including my surrender, according to our Father's will
as I glorify your name.

Grant me contentment today as I abide in the Holy Spirit’s comfort and power,
bearing love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
May the hope of eternal glory with you animate my heart, mind, and body
to live a life of steadfast devotion to your will.

Amen.
