| Serenity by Hyunah Kim |
God, grant me the serenity
to
accept the things I cannot change,
to
change the things I can
and
the wisdom to know the difference...
that certain
peace within my soul,
your gift of
grace,
and the
counsel of your Spirit:
a gift that comes from you alone,
a gift I cannot give myself...
In that
serenity, I pray I might
accept
the things I cannot change
and over which
I'm powerless:
things
beyond my reach and ken
which only
you
(and others,
if they choose)
might change
and turn around...
I pray for
strength and courage
to
change the things I can:
my mind and
heart,
my attitude,
my stubborn pride,
my attitude,
my stubborn pride,
my words and
deeds,
the choices that I make
and the paths I choose to take...
But still I
need your wisdom, Lord,
to help
discern between
the things that only you can do
the things that only you can do
and things
that I, with you,
am charged
and graced to do
that I might
rest serenely
in the peace
that comes
from you and from living by your word...
Amen.
