Serenity Prayer

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.

    “Author unknown” is not correct. This is the official prayer of Alcoholics Anonymous originally by the famous American theologian Reinhold Niebuhr.

    The greatest prayer is the prayer we love living to life! Of serenity, serene is clear and free of storms, strife, or unpleasant change; shining bright and steady -marked by or suggestive of utter calm and unruffled repose or quietude. All of which in living to life is Christ in you, the Prince of Peace.

    This is a great prayer. I will print this out now and take it to work with me. sometimes work can be kind of stressful. I felt peace in my heart, but at the same time my team leader the devil is working through to test my faith, but I remember this prayer. My team leader boss said to me, “right now or today is not the time for prayer or you calling on God.” humble as a dove I could be, but sharpe as a serpent with the word of God inside of me. That very moment 3 or 5 minutes later the exact location where my team leader said those words, is where a important machine stop working for 3 hours. Each day is a battle and the devil is not sitting down or relaxing he is aggresive like a roaring lion testing our faith the same way he tested Jesus. I need your mighty warrior prayers.

    This is the most powerful prayer there is because we completely surrender ourselves to Our Lord.

    Serenity – what a beautiful word; there are many things in our life, work places, homes, environment we would like to change, this prayer teaches us to allow God to lead us and make positive changes only if God wants us to do so, and He will see to the rest.
    This is a heart-touching prayer, I love it and shall always teasure it in my heart.
    God love you
