The first part of this prayer is familiar to many, but few are probably aware that there is there's more:
"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;
if I surrender to His will;
that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
forever in the next.
- Reinhold Niebuhr
