    Prayer to help those broken hearts
    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 perfect Geoff. Let me expand with the whole prayer if you will.

    The Serenity Prayer

    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.
