(142) Serenity Prayer

劉憶如的新聞事件讓我學到了這段文字。

給我勇氣去改變我所能改變的，給我耐心去接受我所不能改變的，給我智慧去分辨能與不能的差別。
~劉憶如部落格座右銘

聖經裡邊没有這句話，這是猶太人另一部精典《塔木德》裡所記的一句禱告語，如今已廣為人知。
The Serenity Prayer is the common name for an originally untitled prayer by the theologian Reinhold Niebuhr. The prayer has been adopted by Alcoholics Anonymous and other twelve-step programs.

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.

主啊，求你賜给我：
寧静的心來接受我所不能改變的事；
勇氣來改變我所可以改變的事；
智慧來分辨兩者的差别。

The extended version:
God, grant us the...
Serenity to accept things we cannot change,
Courage to change the things we can, and the
Wisdom to know the difference
Patience for the things that take time
Appreciation for all that we have, and
Tolerance for those with different struggles
Freedom to live beyond the limitations of our past ways, the
Ability to feel your love for us and our love for each other and the
Strength to get up and try again even when we feel it is hopeless.
