Yes I could explain what it means to me!. That does not mean that you should adopt my interpretation of it though!.

'God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
(Know your own limitations and stay within them)
the courage to change the things I can
(Don't cave when you are faced with opposition)
and the wisdom to know the difference,'
(Know yourself well and be knowledgeable about that which you hope to change enough to determine what is and what is not possible)!.

A prayer is a personal thing and knowing what is in your heart matters more then what words you use to express it!. How I "Let go and let God" depends on my faith and is as individual as I am as a person!.

And the thumbs down is for!?!?!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Basically, it means that when you have a concern, problem, worry, whatever, you pray and ask Him to take care of the situation!. IF the worry creeps up back in your mind, remind yourself that it's already been handled, and leave it alone!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
