I was just sitting at my dining table and this framed prayer I have on my table caught my eye. It triggered in me the thought that this prayer always helps calm me and is applicable to so many things.
I have found over the last 5 years I have had it, there are so many times that is all I had to hold onto when I felt I had nothing left or felt frustrated.
Wikipedia says the prayer seems to mainly have originated from a theologian Reinhold Niebuhr. It was written for a sermon back as early as 1934. You can read more about it here:

All I know is, is that it contains alot of wisdom and common sense!
