A prayer recorded in the Talmud, a classic Jewish book, is now well known.

“Lord,

Please give me the courage to change the things that can be changed.

Please give me the patience to accept the things that cannot be changed.

Give me the wisdom to discern what can and cannot be changed. ”

Lord, please give me:

The serenity to accept what I have. Things that cannot be changed;

Courage to change things that I can change;

Wisdom to distinguish the difference between the two.

Lord, Grant Me: Serenity to Accept The Things I Can Change, Courage to Change The Things I Can, Wisdom to Know The Difference.
