We live helter-skelter lives. Each day we are pulled here and there by the circumstances of our lives, both good and bad. We skip from one thing to another and get pulled in different directions at once. Sometimes we feel as if we are living at the mercy of events beyond our control and more often than not, we are. We long for peace; for a safe, serene and secure place where we can continually dwell. Serenity speaks of the deep peace that God alone can give us, a spiritual peace that lasts through everything and which nothing can take from us. This peace does not depend on external circumstances. Nothing-not even death-can separate us from the never-ending love that God has for each one of us. This gift of God's peace can permeate our whole being: our heart, our mind and our body. When our hearts are open to receive the peace that only God can give, we will know true serenity. In response to this search for peace, Trevor Hudson reminds us of a simple prayer that most of us know by heart. In this prayerful guide, Hudson carefully unpacks the meaning of each part of the prayer and its application to our lives. As we let the Serenity Prayer show us how to live each day in friendship with our Divine Companion, confident of the greatness of the Father's love, God's gift of peace will grow and fill our whole lives.
