Below is listed the Complete Serenity Prayer. Most of us usually only use the first part of the prayer and it has paid off for years and years! Just think how more powerful it could be if we used it all!
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 hardship 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 Neibuhr-1926

I pause, when agitated or doubtful, and ask God for the right thought or action. |

I humbly say to myself many times each day: |
Thy will be done. "
From: HealingResource.org
"AA has taught me that I will have peace of mind in exact proportion to the peace of mind I bring into the lives of other people, and it has taught me the true meaning of the admonition 'happy are ye who know these things and do them.' For the only problems I have now are those I create when I break out in a rash of self-will."
Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 551
