“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can,  and a really big sandwich”

Some people pray to God for serenity, but they also just want a big sandwich.

Wikipedia: Serenity Prayer
The Serenity Prayer is a prayer or invocation by the petitioner for wisdom to understand the difference between circumstances (“things”) that can and cannot be changed, asking courage to take action in the case of the former, and serenity to accept in the case of the latter.
 
The prayer has achieved very wide distribution, spreading through the YWCA and other groups in the 1930s, and in Alcoholics Anonymous and related organizational materials since at least 1941. Since at least the early 1960s, commercial enterprises such as Hallmark Cards have used the prayer in its greeting cards and gift items.
