Serenity Prayer Gifts for Teens
The Serenity Prayer reads, "God, grant me serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." This inspirational verse is used in numerous contexts throughout the world and encourages people to move forward in their lives with a positive outlook about finding peace and contentment. Serenity Prayer gifts for teens can emphasize this universal statement of faith and acceptance.
