上帝，请赐予我平静，
  去接受我无法改变的。
  给予我勇气，
  去改变我能改变的，
  赐我智慧，
  分辨这两者的区别。
 
  过好我的每一天，
  享受你所赐每一刻，
  把困苦当成通往平安的道路，
  像主耶稣那样，接受这罪恶的世界，
  按其现实本相，而非如我所愿
  相信他会使一切变得美好，
  只要我顺服他的旨意；
  我可以在此生有合宜的欢乐，
  并在永生里，与他永享至福。
 
  阿门。

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;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
