A Prayer for Courage and Serenity

Rev Reinhold Niebuhr

God, grant me the serenity to accept

The things I cannot change

The 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 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 in the next

5. Allow names and faces to spontaneously flow throughout the singing, praying

6. Bless all the people God shows you with Love, Grace, Mercy, Peace, Forgiveness, Healing, Shalom, Prosperity

a. Ask God for faith to believe in healing and growth

b. Forgive anyone that has hurt you

c. Bless those who have used you

d. Enjoy the positive feelings and thoughts as long as possible

e. Listen for guidance from the Holy Spirit about anything you need to say or do

7. Move out and do what the Holy Spirit directed

a. Be “Aglow in the Spirit” and bless all you see

b. Love those nearest to you with patience and kindness
