Serenity again...

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

I cannot change other people. I must accept this. I can change the situation to protect myself from the things others say or do to hurt me. This will take courage. I don't have to be the victim of someone else's issues. I cannot "fix" their issues, but I can live my life with dignity.

Serenity Prayer

I need the serenity to accept the consequences of my actions. I need to own what I do, good or bad. It takes courage to step up and accept, own, the consequences of my-actions. Sometimes I do-this. Sometimes, I try to mitigate the impact. Mitigation usually is of little value.

Who am I, Jesus, that you call me by name? [Kim Hill]

Who am I on the inside where only God sees?

Who am I? Who is the person God created me to be? How does my life bring honor and glory and praise to you, Daddy?

God Grant me...

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference
