I first heard this prayer in a Sinead O'Connor CD. Actually, it wasn't a Sinead O'Connor CD by label. It was a CD my brother bought on vacation only to find when he finally got to play it at home that it was indeed not the industrial music he thought it was but Sinead. Needless to say, he tossed it my way and I discovered this prayer. Regardless of religious affiliation - you can substitute God for whatever works for you - it just seems like good sense.
God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And the wisdom to know the difference.
- Reinhold Niebuhr
