The Serenity Prayer

The Serenity Prayer is attributed to theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, but it has undergone several minor changes and updates over time as various organizations have adapted it for their own purposes and uses. This prayer of surrender asks God for the grace of wisdom for moments large and small in our lives.

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.
