Serenity

Lately the biggest word for me has been serenity. How to find it? How to live it? I have encountered so many walls recently and I can only hope to find the way around or over them. Or at least to find a better path to serenity.

Some words to live by:

Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity

to accept all things I cannot change;

courage to change the things I can;

and the 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 the 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.
