尼布尔《平静的祈祷》

《The Serenity Prayer》
written by Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971)
 
God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.
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 right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.
Amen.

（Mr. Brooks）
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time and enjoying one moment at a time,
accepting hardships as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is and not as I would have it,
trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will,
that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
Amen.
