The Serenity Prayer

寧靜禱文

詞:尼布爾

神！求你賜我寧靜的心去接受我所不能改變的，
賜我勇氣去改變我能改變的，
並賜我智慧去分辨這兩者
一天一天的過，欣賞每一個時刻；
接受艱難困苦是通向平安的步道。
效法耶穌所做的，
接受這個有罪的世界的本相，
而不是我希望的模樣。
如果我降服在你的旨意中，
我相信你會使所有的事都正直。
因此我能在這個生命中活得有喜樂，
而且將來能極度喜樂地和你活在永恆之中。
阿們。



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.
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.
