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.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
by Reinhold Niebuhr
"Trust in the LORD with all
your heart and lean not on
your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge
him, and he will direct your paths."
~Proverbs 3:5~
"Be very careful, then, how you
live—not as unwise but as wise,
making the most of every opportunity,
because the days are evil. Therefore
do not be foolish, but understand
what the Lord's will is. Do not get
drunk on wine, which leads to
debauchery(wickedness). Instead, be
filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another
with psalms, hymns and spiritual
songs. Sing and make music in your
heart to the Lord, always giving thanks
to God the Father for everything,
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Submit to one another out of reverence
for Christ."~Ephesians 5:15-21~
"But you are a shield around
me, O LORD; you bestow glory
on me and lift up my head.
To the LORD I cry aloud,
and he answers me from
his holy hill.
Selah
I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, because the
LORD sustains me.
I will not fear the tens of
thousands drawn up against
me on every side.
Arise, O LORD!
Deliver me, O my God!
Strike all my enemies on
the jaw; break the teeth of the
wicked. From the LORD comes
deliverance.
May your blessing be on
your people.
Selah"
~Psalm 3:5-8~
The blessings of the Lord are known
By those who will obey;
His wisdom, truth, and love are shown
To all who choose His way. —D. De Haan
*You can gain knowledge on your own,
but wisdom comes from God.*
Though many be against me
And would attack my name,
I'll glory in my Savior
And trust Him just the same. —Fitzhugh
*No one is more secure than the
one who is held in God's hands.*
If our greatest need had been information
God would have sent us an educator
If our greatest need had been technology
God would have sent us a scientist
If our greatest need had been money
God would have sent us an economist
If our greatest need had been pleasure
God would have sent us an entertainer
But our greatest need was forgiveness so God sent us a saviour
