Finding Peace in the Middle of the Storm

How do we find serenity in the middle of the storm? This week, we turn to a prayer that many have found to be a help in their journeys. We unpack the serenity prayer, and it's spiritual import to our daily lives. So often, we struggle to deal with our anxiety or navigate the difficult situations we find ourselves in. Finding peace can allow us to move forward. God, grant me the serenityto accept the things I cannot change,the courage to change the things I can,and the wisdom to know the difference.Living one day at a time,enjoying one moment at a time;accepting hardship as a pathway to peace;taking, as Jesus did,this sinful world as it is,not as I would have it;trusting that you will make all things rightif I surrender to your will;so that I may be reasonably happy in this lifeand supremely happy with you forever in the next.Amen.-- Reinhold Niebuhr
