grace to accept with serenity

God, give us the grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed,
courage to change the things which should be changed,
and the wisdom to distinguish one from the other.

 

하느님, 변화될 수 없는 것은 평온하게 받아들일 수 있는 은혜를 주소서.
변화되어야만 하는 것은 변화시킬 수 있는 용기를 주소서.
그리고 이 두 가지를 구분할 수 있는 지혜를 주소서.

 

 

The Serenity Prayer

 

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.
