In my final essay, one of the last lines of the letter to my father read, "God grant both of us the serenity, right?"
When times are tough this is part of a prayer my dad and I keep in mind. It's our favorite prayer. You may have heard it before...
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.
--Reinhold Niebuhr
I am strong in, but not obsessed with my faith. I may not always agree with or understand every sermon that is preached, but I still believe in a higher power. Simpley, when I find the time, I feel at peace when I praise God.
