Serenity Prayer
[slideshow id=11]
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.

Yes, this beautiful piece of Wisdom applies to everyone. Life just happens as it is meant to be,not always
As we want. While we are making plans,God is making His plans. the best thing to do is TRY and adapt to God’s will any facing life cheerfully regardless. As we sow,so shall we reap and this applies to ALL. Everyday is thanksgiving day.G d is beyond our comprehension.

Apparently…everything is O.K….but…the surrender to the devil’s wish it is not an option.
We all have to fight for ours oppinions and believes.

Thanks. I Read it a 2nd Time So Slowly.
How Much Meaning & Power The Words Have.
2 Thessalonians 1:3
We ought always to thank God for you,
brothers and sisters,
and rightly so,
because your faith is growing more and more,
and the love all of you have for one another is increasing.

When “bad” thoughts come into my mind, I say “I only listen to GOD, and GOD
is LOVE.”
As mother Theresa said,” In the final analysis, it is between you and GOD, not them.”
Always, keep the faith.
Blessings… Elizabeth W.

when i was young , living at ease, i thought there was no one that i couldn’t please……no one in this world that i couldn’t have, no one in this world that i could not make glad……but, i did see this girl, and wanted her so bad, yes, a girl as beautiful as her i had to have. yet, i had to give her up, for not getting her at all, cause she never seen me in those school halls, but now i am older, and i find, what you want real bad, you may get it, it will take a little more time, i have a wife. now, by taking my time. and i thank my heavenly FATHER for HIS choice

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

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

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.

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