The Serenity Prayer

This prayer, often repeated, is an originally untitled prayer by theologian Reinhold Niebuhr. It makes great sense to me, and whether you believe in God or not, I think it's a smart idea.

God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
The courage to change the things I can;
And the wisdom to know the difference

How Big Is God?

Never give up; you never know until you try.

I've heard several sermons recently on the subject of talking about how big God is instead of how big your problems are.  We know that God is bigger than our problems, but when we see things that seem hopeless, it's easy to forget that though we don't know what to do, God does.  He's not surprised by anything--the broken refrigerator, car, marriage.  He knows the next job assignment before we even lose the old one.

Take heart, readers (myself included).  God is big enough to handle everything, and He's big enough to help us to do our part in His plan.
