The Serenity Prayer
Simplified Version
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,
Amen.
English Version
God, give me grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed,
courage to change the things that should be changed,
and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will;
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.
Amen.
Swahili Version
Mungu unipe neema nikubali kwa utulivu mambo yasiyoweza kubadilishwa
Ujasiri nibadilishe mambo yanayopaswa kubadilishwa
Na hekima nitofautishe kati ya hayo
Nikiishi siku moja kwa wakati
Nikifurahia kila muda kadiri unavyokuja
Nikipokea taabu kama njia ya amani
Nikikubali dunia hii yenye dhambi kama ilivyo kama alivyofanya Kristo wala si kama ningependa iwe
Nikikwamini kwamba utarekebisha yote ikiwa nitajisalimisha kwa mapenzi yako
Ili niwe na furaha ya kiasi katika maisha haya
Na furaha kuu pamoja naye milele
Amen
Kimeru Version
Simplified Version
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,
Amen.
