The prayer has been adopted by Alcoholics Anonymous, original written by Reinhold Niebuhr(1892-1971) but over the years it has been understood that anybody can recite this prayer because it gives you the strength of not being a prey to temptation, but standing out glorious.
This prayer can also be very helpful to people who are fighting various kinds of addiciton. One should be God fearing,pray to Him at all times and not only in times of trouble.
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.
"Peace" is the word that comes to me when i read this....would surely be at peace from within if this prayer could be recited once in a day....
