#God, grant me the #serenity, to accept the things I cannot change, the #courage to change the things I can, and the #wisdom to know the difference. 🙏🏻

I like the whole serenity prayer. The first 4 lines are easy to remember and implement, but the rest is even more biblical.

God, grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change,

the 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.

Thank you kindly 🙏🏻

I didn't realise there is an original, full version. The longer version that I am familiar with goes as follows:

#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.

Grant me the #Patience with the changes that take time, #Appreciation of all that I have, #Tolerance of those with different struggles, and the #Strength to get up and try again, one day at a time.
