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;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him.
Forever in the next.
Amen.

“神啊，求你赐给我平静的心，去接受我无法改变的事；
赐给我勇气去做我能改变的事；
赐给我智慧，去分辨两者的不同。
不为明天忧虑，享受每一个时刻，把苦难视为通往和平的必经之路，
效法耶稣，照着他所行的，看清这个罪恶世界的真相，而不是以自己的角度来看世界。
只要我降服在神的旨意下，相信神必使万物变为美好，好让我在今世可以快乐的生活，也在永世与你在一起时，有极大的快乐。”

美国著名神学家尼布尔(Reinhold Niebuhr 1892—1971)于1934年写下这篇祷告文，二战时，这篇祷文不胫而走，传遍世界。

The Serenity Prayer is a prayer written by Reinhold Niebuhr. Early in World War II, the prayer was printed on cards and distributed to the troops by the U.S.O. However, the prayer is reported to have been used before that date in Twelve-step programs for those recovering from hurts, habits, addictions and hang-ups.

This is a video of "The Serenity Prayer" that is so profound, useful, and applicable to all of us. I hope you are all blessed by it and that you spend some time contemplating the words and what they mean to you personally.
God Bless, Peace!
