Serenity Prayer(s)

CandleThe 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 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 in the next.

Amen.

Reinhold Niebuhr

Dock RingsPagan Serenity Prayer

God and Goddess grant me:

The power of water,

to accept with ease and grace what I cannot change,

The power of fire,

 for the energy and courage to change the things I can,

The power of air,

 for the ability to know the difference,

and the power of earth,

for the strength to continue my path.

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.

God grant me the serenity,

to accept the people I cannot change,

courage to change the one I can,

and wisdom to know it's me.
