I always thought the "Serenity Prayer" was only three lines. Today my spiritual director/counselor gave me a copy of the FULL prayer, which I had never seen.
After days like I had yesterday, this expanded version makes perfect sense to me.
After days like I had yesterday, this expanded version makes perfect sense to me.
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the thing I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
Taking as Jesus 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 the life and
supremely happy with him forever in the next.
Amen.
