My thought for today is the Serenity Prayer. The short form is the one I usually say. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. A lot of wisdom in those three lines. The rest of the prayer is also helpful, though we do not say it as often. Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time, accepting hardship as a 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. It is about acceptance, and trust, and faith, not always easy things to have but necessary in order for us to have our serenity.
