to accept the things I cannot change;
the courage to change the things I can;
and the wisdom to know the difference.
(Although most widely know in the condensed form,
the entire prayer continues as follows....)
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
