 God Grant Me the Serenity Wall Plaques |
What is the Serenity Prayer?
This prayer, by Reinhold Niebuhr, and written as early as 1934 as part of a sermon, was adopted by Alcoholics Anonymous and other twelve-step programs.
To accept the things I cannot change?
Yes. Being able to stop running uphill, stop being so tired from trying, stop expecting different results from the same behavior, it is hardest thing to do and hardest habit to break.

Courage to change the things I can?
You must have courage! You must stand up and fight for those things that you know in your heart and right and are worth fighting for. There is no other option, and you must see that.
And the Wisdom to know the difference?
Is there such a thing as that kind of wisdom? Oh yes, that kind of wisdom is...divine. That is the only place that such a level of understanding can come from. It is God-breathed. Its source is undeniable and yet incomprehensible at the same time. It is a paradox.
