A Simple Prayer for Peace

In moments of chaos, a simple prayer for peace can be a soothing balm for the soul. 

“God grant me the Serenity

To accept the things I cannot change,

Courage to change the things I can,

And the Wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time,

Enjoying one moment at a time.

Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,

Taking, as he did, this sinful world as it is,

Not as I would like it.

Trusting that he will make all things right,

If I surrender to his will.

That I may be reasonably happy in this world

And supremely happy in the next”.

— Reinhold Niebuhr

This timeless prayer, known as the Serenity Prayer, encourages a sense of calm and acceptance, fostering inner peace amid life's storms.
