Serenity Prayer

Theres a prayer intended to give strength to ppl faced with circumstances they don't want to accept. The power of the prayer comes from its insight into human nature. Because so many of us rage against against the hand that life has dealt us. Because so many of us are cowardly and afraid to stand up for what is right. Because so many of us give into despair when faced with an impossible choice. The good news for those who utter these words is that God will hear u and answer ur prayer. The bad news is that sometimes, the answer is no.

"We ask God to grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change. The courage to change the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
