Serenity Prayer

Does everyone know the Serenity Prayer?  I have found myself saying it lately and I really like it, it is very soothing to me.  For those that don't know it:

 "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.  The courage to change the things I can.  And the wisdom to know the difference."

I looked up the definition of serenity:

se•ren•i•ty (səˈrɛn ɪ ti)

n.

the state or quality of being serene; tranquillity

 

Aww serene and tranquil, doesn't that sound nice?  I just find this prayer so fitting to my situation and I'm sure anyone can probably apply it to their life.  There are a lot of things I have to accept that I cannot change in my life.  There are definitely things I do have control of, and I try to take the courage to change these for the positive like my attitude and outlook.  And it is sometimes difficult to distinguish what I can control and change.  I like the idea of asking God for help in this area and just wanted to share my thoughts with all of you :)
