Fellowship Prayerful Thinking By admin Posted on October 2, 2016 1 min read 0 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Google+ Share on Reddit Share on Pinterest Share on Linkedin Share on Tumblr When I say the serenity prayer—God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change—I remind myself that I cannot change anyone other than me, and sometimes I can change my circumstances and sometimes I can change my body problems. I remember to picture that other person or thing I want to change and acknowledge that I cannot. Courage to change the things I can—I remember I can change myself, and sometimes my circumstances, and sometimes my body problems. I can eat better; eliminate sugar, flour, and caffeine; stop drinking; and exercise. And wisdom to know the difference—I develop a sense of humor when I don’t remember the difference. It helps! Also, this is a nice line to add after the serenity prayer—Thy will, not mine, be done. It helps me remember to “let go, let God.” — Barbara, Reno, Nevada USA
