Today's Lenten Meditation : 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 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.
