A Prayer

A prayer that is extremely close to my heart...had read it somewhere and suddenly came across it today. Couldn't help posting it here...


जे टाळणे अशक्य, दे शक्ती ते सहाया
जे शक्य साध्य आहे, दे निर्धार ते कराया ॥
मज काय शक्य आहे, आहे अशक्य काय
माझे मला कळाया, दे बुद्धी देवराया ॥

Translated it means,

Give me the serenity to accept the things which cannot be changed
Give me the determination to change the things that I can
And the wisdom to know the difference...

Amen! PS: Although I had read the original in Marathi, the English version is credited to Reinhold Niebuhr
