This is a beautiful prayer and one I really like to include in my morning. I think if everyone prayed this on a daily basis and really took it to heart, our world would be a wonderfully different place.
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.

John 3:30. That’s what this is all about.
