serenity prayer
The actual origin of the Serenity Prayer has over the years been a tantalizing, elusive, and some still feel, unsolved mystery. It's intriguing to those of us at G.S.O. who have at one time or another attempted to trace the prayer to an authoritative, unimpeachable source.
The prayer entered unobtrusively into AA history in 1941. It was discovered in the "In Memoriam" obituary column of an early edition of the New York Herald Tribune. The exact wording was:
...God grant me the serenity to accept
things I cannot change, courage to change
things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
Goodbye.
