《寧靜禱文》Serenity Prayer| ReinholdNiebuhr
主,請賜予我寧靜心靈接受無法改變的事,
賜予我勇氣改變應當變更的事,
賜予我智慧分辨兩者。
珍惜每一天;
享受每一刻;
以苦難作為通往平安之路;
仿照主的方式,接受我不樂見的罪惡世界;
堅信凡事祂會歸正妥善。
只要服從祂的旨意;
此生得享喜樂,與主同在享受永生福樂。
賜予我勇氣改變應當變更的事,
賜予我智慧分辨兩者。

此生得享喜樂,與主同在享受永生福樂。
阿們。
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.
Living
one day at a time;
Enjoying
one moment at a time;
Accepting
hardships 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.
