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
enjoying one moment at a time
accepting hardship as a pathway to peace
taking as Jesus did
this sinful world as it is
not as I would have it
trusting that You will make all things right
if I surrender to Your will
so that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with You
forever in the next
Amen
Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971)
