The Serenity Prayer: A Simple Prayer to Enrich Your Life

“God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,

and the wisdom to know the difference.”
Countless people around the world have prayed this prayer, and it has helped them fi nd peace in the midst of their harried lives. They may not realize that the above words are just the beginning of a longer prayer.

Each brief chapter contains a single-paragraph summary called “In a Nutshell.” Hudson then poses a thought-provoking question or suggestion for refl ection. The chapters end with a full-page display of a scripture related to the chapter topic.
