the quote jar: serenity prayer

"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."

People normally leave out everything after the first sentence when they talk about this prayer. Yet it is that second part that I always need to hear.
