grant me the

to accept the things I cannot change,

to change the things I can,

and the

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 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.
