The Serentity Prayer is probably one of the most widely circulated prayers around - @ least in secular spiritual circles. I ran across an old timer the other day who recited a 'traditional' longer version I'd never heard before and I was blown away. Take a look:

GOD, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change,

Courage to change the things I can

Wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;

Enjoying one moment at a time;

Accepting hardship as a 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
