We live in a world that, in many ways, is more unsettled and disharmonious than it has been in a long time. Many share my concern about the numerous significant and challenging issues that seem to be moving in the wrong direction.
Allow me to share the opening of the prayer for serenity written by theologian Reinhold Niebuhr:
“Grant me the serenity to accept what I cannot change, the courage to change what I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
Perhaps it can help you and me to continue working for a better world while managing to detach ourselves from the issues we cannot influence.
Remember, no one can do everything, but everyone can do something.
Prayer for serenity
