It reads:
O Lord, give me the courage to change what I can change.
And the serenity to accept what I cannot change.
In addition, give me the wisdom to know the difference between what I CAN change and what I cannot.
This prayer when 'answered' can make a difference in one's life.
Often we either lack the courage or the serenity or the wisdom.
One way to live this prayer is to use the guideline of 'Control the controllable'.
The guideline is helped by a grid:
Controllable - am controlling - Q1
Controllable - am not controlling - Q2
Not controllable - attempting to control - Q3
Not controllable - not attempting to control -Q4
