Serenity prayer - Long version - Reinhold Niebuhr

What a wonderful prayer the serenity prayer is.  I think most of us are familiar with the shorter version of it used by AA and 12-step programs.  American Theologian Reinhold Niebuhr wrote this prayer while serving as a pastor in Massachusetts.  Like all great prayers and quotes, there is some discussion about when it was originally written, but it appears to have been written in either the 1930s or the 1940s.  It is certainly a wonderful prayer that challenges us in the way we live our lives.  

God, give me grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, Courage to change the things which should be changed, and the Wisdom to distinguish the one from the other. Living one day at a time, Enjoying one moment at a time, Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace, Taking, as Jesus did, This sinful world as it is, Not as I would have it, Trusting that You will make all things right, If I surrender to Your will, So that I may be reasonably happy in this life, And supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen.
