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 hardship as a pathway to peace,
taking, as Jesus did,
this sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it,
trusting that You will make all things right,
if I surrender to Your will,
so that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
and supremely happy with You forever in the next.

Amen.

主啊，求祢賜我一顆平靜的心。

去接受我無法改變的事物。
求祢賜我勇氣去改變我能改變的事物。
求祢賜我智慧能夠分辨其中的差異。

把苦難視為通往和平的必經之路，
效法耶穌一樣，照著祂所行的；
看清這個罪惡世界的真相，
而不是以自己的角度來看世界。
只要我降服在神的旨意下，相信神必使萬物變為美好，
好讓我今世可以快樂的生活，
也在永世與祢一起時，有極大的快樂。

阿門
