A New Year's Serenity Prayer:
Lord help me to accept that there are things that I cannot change, and help me to set down that heavy excess baggage.
Grant me courage to change the things that I can, one small act at a time, starting with an encouraging smile to the unsure one who looks back at me from the mirror each morning.
Grant me the wisdom to know the difference; that our search for true happiness must begin, and will be realized, by way of simple acts of giving without thought of return.
May I be a true friend for others by giving generously of the gift of kind humour, and by offering healing laughter, in the face of their fears.
May this little child, as I raise my arms up in trust, be enfolded in Your amazing grace—a force more powerful than any virus, hatred, sadness or fear.
