The Serenity Prayer

Serenity Prayer: Short Version

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.

Serenity Prayer: We Version

God, grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change,
Courage to change the things we can,
And wisdom to know the difference.

Serenity Prayer: Long Version

God, grant me serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
Patience for the things that take time,
Appreciation for all that I have,
And tolerance for those with different struggles.

Freedom to live beyond the limitations of my past ways,
The ability to feel your love for me and our love for each other,
And the strength to get up and try again even when I feel it is hopeless.
