The Serenity Prayer...

...who knew there was more to it?

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.

Can I just add to that:
God give me humility that I may truly understand who You are
Enough but not too much
A heart of selflessness over selfishness
A desire to know You and know Your will
A practical, real knowledge of what You want for me and from me
Amen!
