Serenity Prayer

 I was reading the serenity prayer this weekend and feel like we all are familiar with the first verse, but I couldn't believe how much the 2nd verse rang true to me and our lives right now so I wanted to share it:

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.

I hope if you are reading this and you are going through a time of trial where you feel lost or out-of-control that this prayer gives you peace.
