Normally when we see the Serenity prayer we see the 1st four lines shown below. In reality, there is a full version of that prayer that people don’t always see. Drink in this iconic prayer that has been attributed to American Theologian Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971). This full version was composed sometime in the 1940’s.
“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;
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
And supremely happy with Him
forever and ever in the next.
Amen.”
Until next time, walk with the King & be a blessing.
In His Name & for His Glory,
