The First Peace Prayer

God grant me the good will

and the good intention to do right 

when I want to do wrong.

Help me to be clear headed 

and mature in my behavioral choices

So they are good for me

and do no harm to others.

Allow me to be in the presence

of your peace sharing the same

with others tat we may

live together in and love and joy

to your glory.

Amen

I invite you to join me developing adaptations of the Serenity Prayer in a collection to be called the Peace Prayers. The goal will be to develop 52 adaptations, one for each week of 2015.

The Rules

Keep in mind that an adaptation is something that is adapted; especially, a movie, a book, play, etc., that is changed so that it can be presented in another form.

1. Make your adaptation true to the spirit of Niebuhr's Serenity Prayer using his model for form and format.
2. Begin your adaptation with the word 'God'.
3. Do not use the word 'serenity' in your adaptation.
4. Make sure your adaptation is one with peace central to its theme.
5. After developing your adaptation of 14 lines and an Amen, write a 400 character comment expressing your personal sense of your adaptation.
6. Use this opportunity to be a blessing in your work, now and for many years to come.
7. If your work is selected, it will be included in the completed adaptations to be called the PEACE PRAYERS.
8. All Contributors will be licensed to give away the eBook edition of PEACE PRAYERS through the holiday season from Thanksgiving through Christmas and New Years. You will have an excellent gift to give away to all you love and care about.

We make the world a better place every time we love and bless one another, each other, and others one soul at a time.
