Serenity, Courage, and Wisdom

October 11 - When I say the Serenity Prayer, sometimes over and over, I occasionally lose sight of the prayer's meaning even as I repeat its words.  So I try to think of the meaning of each phrase as I say it, whether aloud or silently.  As I concentrate on the meaning, my understanding grows, along with my capability to realize the difference between what I can change, and what I cannot.

Do I see that most improvements in my life will come from changing my own attitudes and behavior?

Today I Pray - May my Higher Power show me new and deeper meanings in the Serenity Prayer each time I say it.  As I apply it to my life's situations and relationships, may its truth be underlined fro me again and again.  May I realize that serenity, courage, and wisdom are all that I need to cope with living, but that none of these three have value unless they grow out of my trust in a Higher Power.

Today I Will Remember - God's formula for living:  serenity, courage, and wisdom.
