The Serenity Prayer is the common name for a prayer authored by the American theologian Reinhold Niebuhr (1892–1971). It has been adopted by Alcoholics Anonymous and other twelve-step programs. The best-known form is:

THAT IS WHAT YOU MIGHT CALL A SUBTLE CHANGE FROM THE ORIGINAL SERENITY POEM:
 
God, grant me the courage to change the things I can,
The serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
And wisdom to know the difference.
