The Serenity Prayer

I needed to take a couple of breaths the other day and I said this prayer, only the first part, which is the piece most people have heard. But the rest is pretty darn good, too.

God,

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Grant me patience with the things that take time, tolerance of the struggles of others that may be different from my own, appreciation for all I have, and the willingness to get up and try again, one day at a time.

Amen.
