Serenity Prayers
Christian
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the 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 a pathway to peace; taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next.
Buddhist
May I find the serenity to accept the present
moment, the courage to cultivate compassion and understanding, and the wisdom to navigate the path of impermanence.
​
Living each day mindfully, savoring each breath and embracing every experience; accepting challenges as opportunities for growth; taking this ever-changing world as it is, not as I would have it.
​
Trusting in the interconnectedness of all beings, and knowing that, by cultivating mindfulness and compassion, I contribute to the well-being of myself and others.
​
May I be at peace with the unfolding of life, and may my journey be one of awakening and liberation.
Agnostic
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
​
May I find peace in the present moment, strength in my own capabilities, and understanding in the face of life's uncertainties.
​
May I embrace each day with openness, learning from experiences and growing with each challenge.
​
In the ever-changing nature of life, may I find resilience, acceptance, and a sense of connection to the world around me.
