Serenity -- IN CHRIST

Serenity -- the state of being serene, calm, peaceful, untroubled, composed...
Be anxious for NOthing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to GOD; and the peace of GOD which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through CHRIST JESUS. (Philippians 4:6-7)

IN CHRIST -- chosen...justified...

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of GOD is eternal life IN CHRIST JESUS our LORD. (Romans 6:23) IN CHRIST, we are born again and utterly loved!

For all the promises of GOD in CHRIST are Yes, and in HIM Amen, to the glory of GOD through us. (2 Corinthians 1:20)

For GOD SO LOVED the world that He gave His ONE and ONLY Begotten SON that whoever believes IN CHRIST should not perish but have EVERlasting LIFE! (John 3:16)

Serenity -- IN CHRIST...

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!
