God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change,

神啊，求祢賜給我平靜的心，去接受我無法改變的事，

courage to change the things I can,

賜給我勇氣，去做我能改變的事，

And the wisdom to know the difference.

賜給我智慧去分辨這兩者的不同。

Living one day at a time,

一天一天地過日子，

Enjoying one moment at a time,

一時一刻地欣賞生命，

Accepting hard ship as a pathway to peace,

接納艱苦是通往平安之路，

Taking, as Jesus did,

能夠效法耶穌，

This sinful world as it is, Not as I would have it,

接納這罪孽深重的世界的本相，而非自己所期望那個世界，

Trusting that You will make all things right,

堅信祢必會把萬事變為美好，

If  I surrender to Your will,

若我順服祢的旨意，

So that I maybe reasonably happy in this life,

好叫我此生能快樂地生活，

And supremely happy with You forever in the next.

並在永世裡得享與祢永遠同在的大喜樂。

Amen.

阿們。
