Try This Prayer When You Are Feeling Frustrated (Serenity Prayer)
The Ascension Team“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.” -The Serenity Prayer
If you’re finding yourself frustrated and struggling to surrender your plans to God, the Serenity Prayer is for you. We all have things we care about that are out of our control, making us feel powerless and angry. The more we offer these things up to the Lord, entrusting them to his care, the more we are able to find peace and serenity.
Today, Fr. Mark-Mary explains why the Serenity Prayer is the prayer he recommends the most when hearing confessions.
