Looking for something that actually works—a simple but powerful tool that has helped millions of people, 24/7?

The Serenity Prayer is one of the most widely known and recited prayers in the world, offering peace, clarity, and strength. Used by 12-step recovery programs worldwide, it has guided people through life’s toughest moments.

The Serenity Prayer (Full Version)

God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time,
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardship as a pathway to peace;
taking, as Jesus did,
this sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it;
trusting that You will make all things right
if I surrender to Your will;
so that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with You forever in the next.

Amen.

Why This Prayer Works (Even If You Don’t Have a Personal Relationship with Jesus or Something Divine)

You don’t need to be religious to see the power in these words. It’s a mental reset button, a way to refocus your energy on what actually matters instead of wasting it on shit you can’t control.

The Serenity Prayer has helped millions of people dealing with addiction, stress, anxiety, grief, and uncertainty. It has helped me in other situations too—when I’ve faced struggles, overwhelming stress, and feelings of perfomance anxiety..

✅ It calmed me down when my mind was restless.
✅ It filled me with hope that things would get better.
✅ It restored my confidence to take action where I could.

Whatever you’re dealing with right now, remember this: You can’t control everything, but you CAN control yourself, your mindset, and your next move.
