The Prayer

There is a prayer intended to give strength to people who are given circumstances they do not want to accept.

 The power of the prayer comes from its insight into human nature.

 God, grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change.

 Because so many of us hold boiled up bitterness to what life has dealt us.

 The courage to change the things we can.

 Because so many of us are cowardly and afraid to stand up for what is right. 

And the wisdom to know the difference.

 Because so many of us give into despair when faced with an impossible choice.

 Most believe that if they say these words god will hear and answer. But the bad news is that sometimes the answer is no. 

I say these words every night before i fall asleep.

 Not as a prayer but as a reminder to myself. 

To do all i can do. 

And the things i cannot will come in time and if not all i can do is try harder the next time. 

And to remind myself of the courage i hold inside. 

And how strong i really am. 

And to remind myself to let go of all the circumstances i have no power over. 

And remember sometimes the answer is no. 

Bonne Nuit!!
