In light of the slightly remixed serenity prayer I shared in yesterday’s posting, I wanted to share other versions of it that I came across on the Internet, as I found them quite inspiring as well…
“God, grant me the serenity to stop beating myself for not doing things perfectly, the courage to forgive myself because I’m working on doing better, and the wisdom to know that you already love me just the way I am.”
“God, grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it’s me.”
“God, grant me the honesty to say what will prove to be helpful, the tact to not say what will prove to be unhelpful and maybe even hurtful, and the strength to know when to hold my tongue.”
“God, grant me the yearning to keep my hopes and dreams alive that are meant to come true, the realism to let them go when they aren’t, and the knowledge of other hopes and dreams I may not have discovered on my journey yet.”
Peace, love, light, and joy,
Andrew Arthur Dawson
