still on accepting... i want to share this very special prayer, called the SERENITY PRAYER, which i regularly recite whenever i am in turmoil or having difficulty in embracing the harsh truths and realities in life. i got this from a redemptorist priest when i was in college. it was a time when i was struggling with the bitterness of having to live the life of a child of a broken family.
THE SERENITY PRAYER
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. Amen.
~ Reinhold Niebuhr
