The best prayer that helps me is.

[rick]

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

God bless.

I'm guessing you meant best "prayer"?  That's not scripture, but it's a often used prayer, especially promoted by AA.

Hey Rick,
If those sentiments help you then they help you and I'm glad you're helped.
It's not scripture though. It's a prayer written by a theologian. For me the issue with it is that I cannot change anything. But, I do understand that God gives me things to walk through and to experience and I am accountable to Him for what I do with the life He has given me.
I think this was written by a free-willer and after all this time, it's just not something that helps me. Maybe some of us should rewrite it for those of like mind.
I hope I'm not stepping on your toes Rick because I don't want to.

Thanks and God bless.

Hi John,

Maybe but it does display the sovereigty of God to me , as the writer understands he / she is not in control . I think it's a pretty cool prayer to me. I saw it on a poster and said God that's cool.

Anyways that's just me.

God bless.
