I thought I would share this, I hope nobody minds. It is also quite possible to switch "He" with "She" or "It", or whatever else you refer to as your higher power/God.
I know that a lot of people have heard of the Serenity Prayer. If I'm not mistaken, it is quite commonly associated with AA and other addiction related peer-support groups.
But... most people do not know that it is far longer and more spiritual than it appears to be.
The Serenity Prayer
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.
Living one day at a time;
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardship 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.
- Reinhold Niebuhr
