Motivational Monday Affirmation – The Serenity Prayer
The Serenity Prayer – Monday Affirmation
Circa 1972 – This was my dads favorite prayer as it helped him live one step at a time, one day at a time. And whenever I feel like I’m losing control of my life, I say this prayer and it helps calm me – reassures me that everything is in God’s hands and he will guide me through my troubles. And knowing this gives me affirmation … affirmation that I am SERENE – affirmation that I am COURAGEOUS – affirmation that I am WISE !!
The Full 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 things right
If I surrender to His Will;
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
And supremely happy with Him
Forever and ever in the next.
Amen.
