Serenity Prayer has become one of the most well-knownprayers of our time. While there is much speculation about who wrote it, it is most commonly believed that it was written by Reinhold Niebuhr, a theologian who lived in the early to mid 1900s. It is believed that Niebuhr originally wrote the serenity prayer as part of a sermon.
The intention of the Serenity Prayer is to bring peace, faith, and certainty to the mind and heart of those seekingGod's support. It asks God for the wisdom and ability to gracefully accept"what is," (what cannot be changed) and for the willingness tomanifest, with God's support, that which is in one's highest good. (Courage tochange the things which should be changed).
The Serenity Prayer acknowledges that if one seeks truepeace and happiness in this life and beyond, it is important to consciouslylive and enjoy one's life in each moment; embrace one's struggles andchallenges; accept the world as it is, not as we would will it to be; and trustin God and surrender to God's Will thereby uniting our will with His.
