My favorite prayer is the "Serenity Prayer" {no comments :) }
These words have so much inspiration and well.. no commentary or explanations on this one :); just the prayer and the site I like that explains the prayer's meaning and history. One change that I made to mine, is replacing "HAPPY" with "Joyful", these are two very different things, and Jesus provides Joy and Happiness happens.. or not.. Joy is as available as Christ, you just have to choose it.
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 HimForever in the next. Amen.

I like that one, too, especially with your word choice. :) I went to Catholic school as a child, and this was the ONE prayer that I felt there was actually some "meat" to, that was different than the others.
You're right. PRAYER in general is JUST GOOD.
Thanks for sharing!
Love,
Beth
