Maia's SERENITY Prayer

SERENITY -- a disposition free from stress or emotion; the absence of mental stress or anxiety.

i have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. (Philippians 4:12)

For i can do everything with the help of CHRIST who gives me the strength i need. (Philippians 4:13)

And let the peace that comes from CHRIST rule in your hearts. (Colossians 3:15)

SERENITY Prayer, back.

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 forever in the next.

(Reinhold Niebuhr)

  3. Thanks, (((dkline))) and i'm so glad you like it (((dolphinsmile)))!!! May the serenity that is the real peace from CHRIST JESUS be like super-glue in your life so that in whatever circumstance GOD allows in your present, the peace that rules your heart and mind will steady and calm you in the midst of it.
