The Serenity Prayer

On Sunday we considered what it means for us to surrender our worries to God.  As we closed our time together we prayed this prayer.  Feel free to experiment with this prayer as you seek God's love in the midst of your worries. 
 

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
the 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 hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,
This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.

Amen.
