The Serenity Prayer

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;
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, 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.

— Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971)

上帝請賜我平靜
接受我無法改變的事情;
勇氣去改變我能改變的事;
也求主給我智慧,知道其中的分別。
使我為今天而活,
享受每一次的片刻;
接受艱辛是通往和平的途徑;
叫我學像耶穌,來真真實實的接受這個罪惡的世界,
而並不是將它幻想出來,
堅信當我降服在祂的旨意中,祂會將一切成為美好,
叫我此生或許能享受應有的快樂,
但必定會在來生享受與主同的無比歡愉。
