When I say it for the first time in the morning, I like to add a few words. Here's my own personal version:
God, please grant me the serenity and humility to accept the things I cannot change; Courage and willingness to change the things I can; And wisdom and understanding to know the difference.
God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Author unknown, variation of an excerpt from "The Serenity Prayer" by Reinhold Neibuhr
Larry, ----------- If you are not as close to God as you used to be, who moved? ~Author Unknown
Here's a cute little message, which I stuck to my mirror in the bathroom for the first few years of my sobriety - in fact I am gonna stick it back up there again, maybe what GOT me sober will KEEP me sober eh?? It's so easy to stop doing the things which got us sober isn't it? (Or maybe that's just ME, but I doubt it somehow) OK so this is the message.
Dear Loved One,
I am dealing with all of your problems today, the easy stuff I can do immediately, the difficult stuff may take a little time, and miracles take much longer, but be assured that I am onto it, please just stay out of my way and let me get on with it.
Your Dear Friend, GOD
