The full serenity prayer also says, "trusting that He will make all things right if i surrender to His Will." Sometimes taking time to count your blessings and realize God has helped you in your life helps ease the stress of worrying about things outside of your control. It does not serve any purpose to worry about what your high school bully said 20 years ago, or dwell on unpleasant interactions with coworkers, it'll rob you of peace and serenity that we all desperately need in this life. It is useful to recognize that truly the only thing you can control is what is happening in this current moment. Each day is different and brings its own set of challenges and pleasures. Identify what is in your immediate controlĪs the serenity prayer says - "live one day at a time enjoying one moment at a time," you must create a habit of focusing on the present day's issues and blessings. Here are some ideas to start living the prayer: There is peace in letting go of strong expectations and let God help you understand what is worth changing. How can you accept things you cannot change?Īs the prayer mentions, there are things you cannot change, even though you would like things to be different. Wisdom comes with experience and the serenity prayer helps you ask God to attain this wisdom so you do not waste efforts trying to change things you cannot - such as other people, or macro-level issues that truly are out of reach. This prayer aims to ask God for help to help you identify what small steps you can take to start making positive change. In addition, the serenity prayer, despite its length, is full of core Christian values that are important reminders to any follower of Christ.įor example, you may have some bad habits that you want to change but know it is incredibly difficult to reverse bad habits. The intent of the prayer is to help you recognize what you can and cannot control and find wisdom to discern what you can change in your life versus some things that you cannot. Maybe you are suffering from addiction and trying to recover, or maybe you are subconsciously choosing to care about many different things that are making life tough.
