Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; 
courage to change the things I can; 
and the 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


Why does it always seem that the closer you are to almost finishing something, the harder it gets?  Things seem to be getting ugly at one of my schools, but I press on and will continue to pray this prayer.
