Anger and Bitterness Pt. 5

I was reading Radical Congruency and he shared an interesting site that allows you to edit prayers. I found the Serenity Prayer. I was going to edit but for me it says it all:

Serenity Prayer
From UrbanMonastery
God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardship 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

Anyway, its remembering daily that it is a journey and to be patient in Him for the peace. I long for the day that I won't walk in with heavy chain of bitterness and anger. Although today the burden is lighter there are days the sting of the pain comes back and its nice to find prayers such as this to help during those times.
