【尼布尔的祈祷文 】

美国神学家尼布尔1934年写下了一篇堪称20世纪最著名的祷告文：

上帝，请赐予我平静，
去接受我无法改变的。
给予我勇气，
去改变我能改变的，
赐我智慧，
分辨这两者的区别。
过好我的每一天，
享受你所赐每一刻，
把困苦当成通往平安的道路，
像主耶稣那样，接受这罪恶的世界，
按其现实本相，而非如我所愿
相信他会使一切变得美好，
只要我顺服他的旨意；
我可以在此生有合宜的欢乐，
并在永生里，与他永享至福。

阿门。

God, Grant me

the SERENITY, to accept the things I cannot change,

COURAGE to change the things I can, and

the 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
