Clarity

“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change.” “ The courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.” That’s the hard one for me, the wisdom to know the difference between what I can and can not change. It also hurts a lot, beating my head against a wall till I call my sponsor and go back to step 3. I wish I was wise enough to see it right away. I wish I knew when to give up. Would save me a lot of grief and heart ache. But I can’t see that I’m am powerless until it’s left me hurting and feeling self pity. How do I find clarity? Prayer? It’s the only thing I can think of to do. And to give it back to god when I realize I can’t do anything about it. I will work on finding the serenity to acept the things I can not change.
