I use this frequently in therapy and always preface it by saying that both believers and non-believers can apply it to their lives.

This prayer was there just when I needed it. It really rung true to me. I practice religion now but at the time it was more a reminder that I couldn't control everything and I found it really helpful. Maybe some people learn this lesson early but it took me that prayer.

The prayer is wonderful. It helps clarify my thinking as I either overreact or under react. Wisdom and grace are so needed!

I have been using this prayer for thirty years. I learned it when I was going to Adult children of Alcoholics groups. A pagan ritual I did with my kids included candle lighting and we said this as part of it.
