Reflection
How often do we lose our serenity over people, places, things, and situations in which we have no control?
Maybe it’s just me.
If you are faced with a situation that is robbing you of your serenity, and you have absolutely no control over it–ignore it, stupid.
Note to self.
Luke 6:37, “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven.”
Journal your thoughts:
What am I grateful for today?
In what way(s) will I bring light to the world today?
What will I deny myself so I may draw closer to God and gain more peace in my life today?
Prayer:
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship 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.
(Serenity Prayer – Reinhold Niebuhr)
