【尼布爾的祈禱文 】
美國神學家尼布爾1934年寫下了一篇堪稱20世紀最著名的禱告文:
上帝,請賜予我平靜,
去接受我無法改變的。
給予我勇氣,
去改變我能改變的,
賜我智慧,
分辨這兩者的區(qū)別。
過好我的每一天,
享受你所賜每一刻,
把困苦當成通往平安的道路,
像主耶穌那樣,接受這罪惡的世界,
按其現(xiàn)實本相,而非如我所愿
相信他會使一切變得美好,
只要我順服他的旨意;
我可以在此生有合宜的歡樂,
并在永生里,與他永享至福。
阿門。
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
