Another Serenity Prayer

God, grant me the serenity

to stop beating myself up

for not doing things perfectly,

the courage to forgive myself

because I’m working on doing better,

and the wisdom to know

that you already love me

just the way I am.

Amen?

[Let’s spend the month of August 2018 looking at some quotes, lines, memes, and other timeless ephemera — how’s that for an oxymoron? — that are too good not to share. Let’s contextualize some, let’s dissect others, and let’s simply enjoy still others. Let’s go!]

Amen.

God, grant me the serenity

to stop beating myself up

for not doing things perfectly,

the courage to forgive myself

because I’m working on doing better,

and the wisdom to know

that you already love me

just the way I am.
