尼布尔的祈祷文

 

上帝，请赐予我平静，

去接受我无法改变的。

给予我勇气，

去改变我能改变的，

赐我智慧，

分辨这两者的区别。

过好我的每一天，

享受你所赐每一刻，

把困苦当成通往平安的道路，

像主耶稣那样，接受这罪恶的世界，

按其现实本相，而非如我所愿

相信他会使一切变得美好，

只要我顺服他的旨意；

我可以在此生有合宜的欢乐，

并在永生里，与他永享至福。

 

阿门。

 

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

美国神学家尼布尔1934年写下了一篇堪称20世纪最著名的祷告文.
