Dear diary,
In the full Serenity prayer used in all GA meeting, it says;
“…Accepting hardships… as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it;…“
It talks about giving up my self will and following God’s will,
Its talks about God ‘s way, not my way.
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.
