My Anti-Serenity Prayer

You all have heard of the Serenity Prayer, the short form of which is:


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.
But looking at the Psalms of David, I have to believe that God wants us to say what we really feel when we pray.

Therefore, I have composed my own Anti-Serenity Prayer:
God, I find that almost everything needs change.
I confess that I find much in Your world to be intolerably bad.
Therefore, grant that today I can be such a badass (God being my helper) that I can change anything and everything.
