I offer a prayer for turbulent times based on the Serenity Prayer with emphasis on Serenity, Courage, and Wisdom. This prayer has been a source of comfort, strength, and guidance for me for almost 34 years.
God grant us the SERENITY
Solace
Equanimity
Repose
Newfoundness
Idyllic
Tranquility
Yielding
To accept the things we cannot change,
The COURAGE
Courageous
Optimism
Understanding
Resilience
Newfoundness
Audacity
Grit
Endurance
To change the things we can,
And the WISDOM
Wholeness
Insight
Sensitivity
Discernment
Observation
Mindfulness
To know the difference.
I invite you to look at the meanings of Serenity, Courage, and Wisdom using the words underneath each; choose the words which call you; and use these to help you cope with these turbulent times in which we find ourselves. You might want to explore each more deeply through journaling, meditation, prayer, going out in nature, or whatever works for you.
Blessings as we go through more uncertainty in the next 10 days at least. May there be Serenity, Courage, and Wisdom!
Carolyn
