美国神学家尼布尔1934年写下了一篇堪称20世纪Z~著名的祷告文:
上帝,请赐予我平静,
去接受我无法改变的。
给予我勇气,
去改变我能改变的,
赐我智慧,
分辨这两者的区别。
过好我的每一天,
享受你所赐每一刻,
把困苦当成通往平安的道路,
像主耶稣那样,接受这罪恶的世界,
按其现实本相,而非如我所愿
相信他会使一切变得美好,
只要我顺服他的旨意;
我可以在此生有合宜的欢乐,
并在永生里,与他永享至福。
阿门。
【英文】
God, Grant me
the SERENITY, to accept the things I cannot change,
COURAGE to change the things I can, and
the WISDOM to know the difference.
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
