Hi, I’m Carol. I gather prayers from saints across centuries and occasionally write about navigating modern struggles with faith.
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 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.
This is such a beautiful prayer. I don’t know why people hack it off. I didn’t even know anything came after, “and wisdom to know the difference”, until my confessor gave me a print out of the entire prayer a few years back. Thanks for posting it. -Cheryl

This book isn’t just about shining a light on the cracks within the church—it’s about healing them. It challenges leaders and congregants alike to wrestle with tough questions:
Are we creating a space where people feel safe sharing their deepest struggles?
Do we offer meaningful support, or are we too caught up in appearances to notice the pain behind the smiles?
How can we make the church a place of radical love and transformation for everyone—not just those who fit neatly into its expectations?
