The following prayers are CLA℠-approved.
Universal
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.
Source: Reinhold Niebuhr, 1942
CLA: Keep/Release
God, grant me the serenity to keep the things I need to keep,
The courage to release the things I do not need,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
CLA: Organized Life
God, grant me the serenity of an organized life with leisure time,
The courage to change my habits to ensure these joys,
And the wisdom to be flexible.
[Add the rest for the long form.]
…And God grant me Patience for the changes that take time,
Appreciation for all that I have,
Tolerance for those with different struggles,
And the Strength to get up and try again,
One moment, one hour, one day at a time.
