Serenity


 

Serenity - The quality or state of being serene; clearness and calmness; quietness; stillness; peace.


As the holidays approach, many find themselves feeling not so festive.  One way of lifting the "blues" is to try to take one day at a time - and to be mindful of three poignant points in the following prayer:

The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity

(1) to accept the things I cannot change;

(2) courage to change the things I can;

(3) 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.

Amen.
