尼布爾處變禱詞

(寧謐禱詞/上)

上主，力不能挽者，求俾我泰然處之。力能挽者，求俾我毅然為之。孰此孰彼，求賞我智慧以明辨之。阿們。

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. Amen.

(寧謐禱詞/下)

活在當下
珍惜當下
接納艱辛乃導向詳和的路徑。

能如基督坦誠承受這罪惡的世態，
按其現實本相，而非照我所願；
相信凡事祂會歸正妥善，
若我順服祂的旨意；
如此，我或許在今生享受相當的喜悅，
在來世中能享永遠與主同在的無上喜樂。
阿們。

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.
