ii Mapping Your Steps
The
Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change,
courage to change
the things I can,
and wisdom to know
the difference.
The Serenity Prayer was written by Reinhold Neibuhr in
1926. AA adopted the short form of the prayer early on as a
helpful meditation (see above). Because of the prevalence of using
this prayer in Twelve Step programs, we have created maps to help
people consider how to apply its tenets to their lives.

Where did the 12 Step Prayer come from? In its short and most common form in 12 step groups... And wisdom to know the difference. The original form of the prayer is from the theologian Reinhold Niebuhr... the one from the other.
