Serenity prayer; Day 1

I remember he once said he liked the serenity prayer. Wait a minute, was that him or his friend? Anyway he posted it on his blog today and when I read it, it was as if it was talking about me.

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 hardship 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.

I don't mean the last few lines. Just the first paragraph and the first 3 lines of the second paragraph. Yes, let me accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Live one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time and to accept hardship as the pathway to peace. This last sentence I just quoted is the one I find the most difficulty accepting. Let me also have the courage to accept hardship. Mostly, let me accept the things I cannot change, have the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

It wasn't that difficult not contacting him today.
It's been a month and 2 days.

Today is Day 1. All over again.
