We carry all our burdens around with us like rocks in a backpack. Big and small we carry them all until we can't carry them any further. Celebrate Recovery can help you let go of these burdens that are weighing you down.
SERENITY PRAYER
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. Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as a pathway to peace; taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will. So that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You in the next.
AMEN
