My "daily prayer"

Ten years ago, when I was "on the edge", one of the things that helped me get back on track was following the (relentless) maxim:

"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

Courage to change the things I can,

And wisdom to know the difference."

Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971) American theologian, Protestant, sociologist of religion.
