Hi all,

I found this great prayer that I have not heard in a while but it is quite a well know one and I thought perhaps it could provide comfort to those who are going through emotional suffering due to a breakup of a relationship.


'God give me the grace to change what I can change
To Accept what I cannot change
And the wisdom to know the difference.'

That is a very apt prayer.

That is perfect Geoff. Let me expand with the whole prayer if you will.


The Serenity Prayer
http://www.cptryon.org/prayer/special/seren.jpeg
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.

--Reinhold Niebuhr
