Strength Prayer
Gods, give me strength to bear with stout heart
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.
- Original "Serenity Prayer",
publ. 1943, by Reinhold Niebuhr
(German-American Theologist
1892-1971)
- First line adapted M.Macha
