寧靜禱文-The Complete Serenity Prayer

 

(The Serenity Prayer) 寧靜禱文

神啊，求祢賜給我一顆寧靜的心，
God grant me the serenity

去接受不能改變的事。 
to accept the things I cannot change

求祢賜給我信心和勇氣，去改變能改變的事。 
courage to change the things I can;

求祢賜給我智慧，去分辨這兩者的不同。 
and wisdom to know the difference.

認真地去過每一天,  

Living one day at a time;

享受生命的每一時刻; 

Enjoying one moment at a time;

迎接艱難,作為進入平安的途徑 

Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;

按照主的方式 

Taking, as He did,
 

面對這不是我所想要的罪惡世界; 

this sinful world as it is. not as I would have it;

堅信主會使正義彰顯, 一切更新 

Trusting that He will make all things right.

只要我順服祢旨意;  

If I surrender to His Will;

今生我得蒙受足夠的喜樂 

That I may be reasonably happy in this life

來生與主同享永世的歡愉.  

and supremely happy with Him. Forever in the next .

阿門 

Amen

The Complete Serenity Prayer

• God, give us grace to accept with serenity
  the things that cannot be changed,
  courage to change the things
  which should be changed,
  and the wisdom to distinguish
  the one from the other.
  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.

-- Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971)
