Serenity

"do not fear, for I am with you..." 
Isaiah 41:10 NIV

God cares about our mental and emotional health, and He offers peace as we connect with Him. On this page you will find resources that offer practical help to receive the peace of Christ in your life and grow in health and resilience along your journey. 
Prayer for Serenity
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.
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 reasonable happy in this life
and supremely happy with You forever in the next.
Amen.
Reinhold Niebuhr
