TABW Reading for 11th July

Post by aingael »

What a great resource the Serenity Prayer is! It can help me cope with almost any situation. When I first started attending Families Anonymous meetings, I just repeated the words, because it was part of the program. Little by little, however, those words became real to me.

When I learned to accept the things I could not change, my mind became calm enough to reflect on things that could be changed.

The Serenity Prayer's principles can be applied to any situation - financial burdens, fear of nuclear war, a cheating spouse, rebellious adult children, or problems with other people.

When those "what if..."thoughts come into my head, I just pray, God grant me the serenity......" If there is something I can change, I set forth to work out a plan of changing it, and the "it" usually turns out to be me. Praying this prayer from the heart has helped me to find serenity in every part of my life.

TODAY I WILL accept the things I cannot change and change the things I can.
