Using the Serenity Prayer

Using the Serenity Prayer
On the walls of thousands of A.A. meeting rooms, in any of a variety of languages, this invocation can be seen:

God grant us the serenity to accept
the things we cannot change,
The courage, to change the things we can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.


That word "serenity" looked like an impossible goal when we first saw the prayer. In fact, if serenity meant apathy, bitter resignation, or stolid endurance, then we didn't even want to aim at it. But we found that serenity meant no such thing. When it comes to us now, it is more as plain recognition ? a clear-eyed, realistic way of seeing the world, accompanied by inner peace and strength. Serenity is like a gyroscope that lets us keep our balance no matter what turbulence swirls around us. And that is a state of mind worth aiming for.

Thanks Monty. Took some time tonight to listen and really enjoyed it. I really liked the song, "I Will Love You all My Life"
