"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."
The Serenity Prayer is a Christian prayer written by the American priest and theologian Reinhold Niebuhr 1926 (Wikipedia). This prayer is common in the 12-step community and can be very helpful to meditate and reflect on as a relative to a person suffering from addiction. It gives a new perspective and insight into the choices made daily.
A challenge may be to every morning take a few minutes to reflect on this prayer!

I don't know what happened To my original comment I was typing. so let me share with you 3 more points to ponder in your reflection of this profoundly written and meaningful message, to me for many years, In these words from the "Serenity Prayer",
...Patience for things it take time;
An appreciation for all that I have; and tolerance for those with different struggles."
