God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
Yes.
Please.
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I don’t WANT to accept the fact that there are things I cannot change. I don’t WANT to trust God. I don’t WANT to rely on others. I WANT to control the situation. I WANT to control the individual. I WANT…I WANT…I WANT…
God, give me a heart that LOVES you, a mind that TRUSTS you, and eyes that SEE MY DESPERATE NEED for you.
This life isn’t about what I want. This life isn’t about me…period. The moment I confessed faith in Jesus, the moment I crossed over from death to life, is the moment I decided to live FOR him and he THROUGH me. He saved me from that which I was unable to escape—addiction, depression, anger, pain, bitterness, resentment—hurts, habits, and hang-ups.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change…
There’s too much going on in this world to remain stuck in the ugly cycle of worry and anxiety. Quite frankly, I don’t have the time to NOT trust God. I don’t have the energy to NOT trust God. Jesus said, “For My yoke is easy and My burden is light,” (Matthew 11:30). I can’t argue with that!
Courage to change the things I can…
I’m not stuck. You’re not stuck. There’s always HOPE and that hope is found in Jesus Christ. THAT’S something you CAN change. You can step out in faith, believe in the cross, believe in the empty tomb, believe in the Savior who wants nothing more than to LOVE you and BLESS you.
And wisdom to know the difference…
Each day is a struggle. Each day is a fight. Each day is a wrestling match, like Jacob I try to grapple with God…except I’m not trying to get His blessing, I’m wrestling for CONTROL. I’m tired of fighting. I raise my white flag. I surrender!
God, give me wisdom.
