The Serenity Prayer

Print Friendly

Here is a beautiful prayer which has always inspired me. Life is challenging and at times, you don’t have an answer for the things that happen in your life. In such circumstances, this prayer will be of immense value. This prayer will give you peace and courage to move on in life.

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.
Amen.

–Reinhold Niebuhr
