This poem.
It has gotten me through more than I can ever voice. I'd like to share my favorite version of this incredible tribute to true freedom, true surrender, and the other side of courage, with all of you. May grace, courage, and wisdom light your daily path, as they have mine.
God, give me grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.
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.
