I’m a huge Seinfeld fan!!! What a great show. One of the hundreds of lines that I remember so vividly is one said by George’s father…”SERENITY NOW!!!”
A brief note below on serenity. Please read on…
The hustle and bustle of life. Commotion, chaos, uncertainty, unrest, turmoil. Do you ever feel any of these emotions? Do you ever feel like you have very little control? I do. I wrote on a similar subject last week and feel compelled to this week. Following is a great prayer, one I say every day. I pray that it speaks to you the way it does to me.
The Serenity Prayer
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.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships 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;
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
And supremely happy with Him
Forever and ever in the next.
Amen.
As always, feel free to reach out to me at Mark@MarkJosephMinistries.com.
God Bless you on your Path to Peace, Joy, and Fulfillment!!!
Mark Joseph
