Faithful Reflections: The Serenity Prayer
Story
There was a time when I struggled with things beyond my control—worrying about the past, stressing over the future, and trying to change what wasn’t mine to fix. The more I held on, the more exhausted I became. Then, I came across the Serenity Prayer:
"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."
In that moment, I realized that peace comes not from controlling everything, but from trusting God with everything.
Insight
Life will always bring uncertainties, but God offers us peace in the midst of it. Some things are in our hands, and others belong to Him. Our faith grows when we learn to surrender what we cannot change and step boldly into what we can.
Philippians 4:6-7 reminds us:
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
True serenity is found in trusting God’s plan.
Prayer
Lord, grant me the peace to accept what I cannot change, the strength to take action where I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Help me to walk in faith, trusting that You are always in control. Amen.
Daily Verse
"Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you."
—1 Peter 5:7
