The Serenity Prayer is the common name for a prayer authored by the American theologian Reinhold Niebuhr (1892–1971). The best-known form is: "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." Niebuhr, who first wrote the prayer for a sermon at Heath Evangelical Union Church in Heath, Massachusetts,used it widely in sermons as early as 1934 and first published it in 1951 in a magazine column.The prayer spread both through Niebuhr's sermons and church groups in the 1930s and 1940s and was later adopted and popularized by Alcoholics Anonymous and other twelve-step programs.Enjoy stitching this classic prayer that is held dear in the hearts of many for decades.
