Courage, Wisdom and Serenity

“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

In a world that’s constantly changing and evolving it’s difficult to know where to draw the line between “acceptance” and “change.” The uncertainty that exists in the financial world, the natural disasters that occur with fearful regularity, the man-made revolutions that erupt with little warning and the political discord that’s part of our daily lives has made serenity a foreign word and wisdom has become greed.

The greater the chaos, the greater our yearning for a place where we can lay down our defenses and renew our hope. It is then that our soul cries out to the Living God for courage and wisdom to make right choices and peace and serenity in knowing that His love and mercy will never fail us.
