Control robs us of serenity.
The Serenity Prayer can really change our lives if we let it. A lot of our problems come from trying to control the people around us. What they’re doing usually doesn’t matter; we just want them to do what we want!
There’s so much we can’t control, but our refusal to let go leads to frustration, stress, and constant drama. But here’s the simple fix: we can ask God for the wisdom to know what we can change and what we need to accept. That wisdom will come, and so will the peace we’ve been looking for.
Today’s Affirmation:
God, grant me serenity today, along with wisdom and acceptance, so I can fulfill your will for me.
Since 1954, A Life of My Own has been a stable force in the recovery of many alcoholics worldwide. With over nine million copies in print (the original text has been revised), this “little book” offers daily thoughts, meditations, and prayers for living a clean and sober life. It is a spiritual resource with practical applications in our daily lives.
Karen Casey is also the best-selling author of Each Day a New Beginning, a daily meditation for Women. She has spoken on spirituality, relationships, and personal growth for more than twenty years. Casey is passionate about helping others in the Twelve Step support groups, where her own recovery from addiction began more than three decades ago.
