3 Biblical Truths of the Serenity Prayer
Chaos continues when we try to change things or people that we shouldn't or can't, and serenity is the farthest component of our lives. Accepting God's plan and His purpose for your life will bring the serenity you seek. Here are three truths from Scripture about peace and serenity that can be applied to the words of the Serenity Prayer.

1. "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change."
As the prayer acknowledges, when life feels out of control, it’s easy to try to work harder at controlling everything and everyone around us! Some of us do the opposite: throw our hands up and give up on the situation or person. Whichever extreme you go to, peace and serenity continue to move further from your life.

Accepting and submitting to God’s control and plan for your life is the only way to find peace in situations you cannot control or change. We may not always know God’s plan but we can let go of trying to orchestrate and manipulat

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" - Philippians 4:7

“Be still and know that I am God!” - Psalms 46:10

2. "the courage to change the things I can,"
If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, you have received the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is able to supply you with the courage to follow and act upon God’s plan for your life. Instead of fearfully ignoring hard decisions or running from what seems too difficult, we can call upon the power of God for the courage to move forward into the full life He has planned for us. As the serenity prayer states, we can ask God for courage!
3. "and the wisdom to know the difference."
Wisdom is a gift that God promises to give to those who ask for it! You can grow in wisdom each day and make better decisions as you spend time reading the Bible and communicating with God through prayer. God will tell you, through his Word or answers in prayer, when to accept things and when to take courage to change them. The Serenity prayer acknowledges that God is the ultimate source for wisdom.
