THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD
(Yes I hear you.)
GRANT ME
(You want help, my child? What is it?)
THE SERENITY
(I see you want peace. Don't you recall my words, "Peace I give to you, my
peace I leave you. I shall grant you peace."
TO ACCEPT
(You want to accept? What is it you want to accept? To accept means not to
question, pry or expect. It means to let be.)
THE THINGS
(I see, you want me to give you peace in being able to let things be, things
from the past, things in the future. You would like to live just today.)
I CANNOT CHANGE
(You can change nothing, my child. What has happened has happened, there is
nothing you can do about it. Let it be. What will happen will happen,
leave that to Me. You can change no one else. Let go and let Me do My
work.)
COURAGE
(Yes, you want power, power from Me, for you can do nothing without my help
or power to carry out My will, so ask for it and it shall be given to you.)
TO CHANGE
(Now you have it. I will give you the power to change yourself, to look
only at yourself, your faults and the power from Me to turn those faults
into virtues. You can do nothing more.)
THE THINGS
(Yes, the power to change things, not others. Things about yourself, no one
else. If your motive is to change others, I cannot help you.)
I CAN
(By saying, "I can" you have already received my graces. "I can" means you
can change yourself with the help of My power.)
AND THE WISDOM
(Ah yes, this is one of my greatest gifts. In other words, you want Me to
give you discernment. In order to get wisdom you must pray and meditate, be
silent so you can hear Me. You will gain discernment by listening to
others, reading and having an open mind.)
TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
(This is the hard part. After you have prayed for guidance, sought council,
and did some reading and truly listened for My answer, go forward bravely, I
am with you always. If you are not sure of answer, then that is your
answer. Let the matter rest with Me so I can do My work. I am the Master
Painter of your life.)
