Serenity and peace of mind


"Life on earth is not controlled by man.  Whatever God wants us to be according to our choices, He lets us be.  Many times i find it hard to adjust to situations which i need to.  then i will wonder why it has to be like this and start to doubt on His love and concern.  How can i make things work perfectly for me?  No.  There's no such thing.  Not everything is placed in front of us.  We have to look for what we need.  Thus, we have to offer our prayer for His guidance...we need it everyday."
 
 
God, give us 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.
