I have been living in quebec for the past 13 yrs.... I have become an alcoholic in the past 2-3 yrs. I do weekly meetings but in french... I have never attended an english meeting... I was wondering if anyone can type me the prayer of serenity in english?
I would very much appreciate it! Patricia

You're welcome, Patricia! I went to several AA meetings myself, and we always said this prayer I think before and after the meetings. I'm proud of you for keeping up with those meetings and looking after yourself!

What do you think of this one?
I asked God for strength, that I might achieve, I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey. I asked God for health, that I might do greater things, I was given infirmity, that I might do better things. I asked for riches, that I might be happy, I was given poverty, that I might be wise. I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men, I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God. I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life, I was given life, that I might enjoy all things. I got nothing that I asked for but everything I had hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am among men, most richly blessed.

Thaught you might be interested in the full version of the serenity prayer.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the 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 a pathway to peace; taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next, Amen. |
