Serenity Prayer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
known to his mocking soldiers as Biberius Caldius
Mero (bibulous drinker of unwatered wine). He never
changed. His near contemporary, the Stoic
philosopher Epictetus was meanwhile teaching
his students a lesson in acceptance: Make the best of
what is in our power and take the rest as it naturally
happens. Its message is similar to the serenity prayer,
written two thousand years later, by Reinhold
Niebuhr: 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.
Emperors come and go, but addiction is always
with us. Am I ready to change the things I can?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The serenity prayer has great power to calm the
troubled mind. The simple words lead us to trust
that our Higher Power has things under control,
even if we do not. Learning to say the prayer
whenever we have to make a choice that worries us,
is a great habit to acquire. Today I ask that I may
make a habit of reciting the serenity prayer daily.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
