Reinhold Niebuhr

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. 

This prayer is one that is pretty well-known.  It is a prayer to help people realize that God is in control even among the chaos.  Obviously we can't control everything surrounding us but ultimately there is someone in control and he can do the impossible if we only let him.
