宁静祷文

宁静祷文

主啊，请赐予我平静，去接受那些无法改变的。

赐予我勇气，去改变那些我能改变的，

赐于我智慧，分辨这两者的区别。

过好每一天，享受您所赐于的每一刻，把困苦当作通往平安的道路，

像主耶稣那样，接受这罪恶世界的现状，而非如我所愿的样子，

顺服他的旨意，相信他会使一切重归美好，

我可以在此生过的幸福，并在永生里，与他永享至福。

阿门。”

宁静祷文是神学家尼布尔(Reinhold Niebuhr 1892—1971他的人类学被认为是20世纪基督教神学对人类学的最大贡献)写于 1934年。

原文

Serenity Prayer

“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”
