I learned the "Serenity Prayer" while at the BFC for the family program. It's helped me so much over time, but I've caught myself not using it as much. It's a great prayer though and I want to share it with you. It works well in hard times.
God,
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
It's so hard to not try and control everything. When I would say this prayer several times a day, it would help me realize that I'm the only one I can control.

I've always liked this prayer too. I need to refer to it a lot, b/c I have control issues. Not control over others, thinking I'm in control and can be in control. I need to always remember I'm not in control, God is. And funny enough, when I give Jesus the wheel I always have a much better ride! :-)
