The
Serenity Prayer is a prayer written by Reinhold Niebuhr
on July 1, 1943. Early in World War II, the prayer was
printed on cards and distributed to the troops by the U.S.O. However, the prayer is reported to have been used
before that date in Twelve-step programs for those
recovering from hurts, habits, addictions and hang-ups.
