The Complete Serenity Prayer
God, Grant me the serenity, To accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Live 1 day at a time, And accept hardship as a pathway to peace. Taking this sinful world as it is, Not as I would have it. Trusting that You (God) 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. Wow. What a powerful prayer. The first four lines are a mantra I have been telling myself since I first stepped into AA when I was 19. 7 years later and I would say I am doing pretty well for myself. It has been me taking one step forward and two steps back, but I have made progress with MAT and I am hopeful in a successful, relapse free, rest of my life!
