Translated by ViaLuminosa
Target language: English

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.
Remarks about the translation
Това е известната Serenity prayer, която е особено известна като част от програмата на Анонимните алкохолици, интегрирана в 12-те стъпки за отказване от алкохола. Има и други варианти, молитвата е променяна и доразвивана много пъти.
Ето тук има повече за нея, на английски обаче: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serenity_Prayer

Hi Via this is a very wise request. I'd start with "May God grant me...."

What do you think?

Lili, as far as I see this prayer has a predefined form and goes exactly the way it is above. I just copy-pasted it as translation.

In that case, I would place a comma after "God" to show him as addressee making "grant me" imperative
"God, grant me ..."

I'm not sure God is addressee here. I think "God grant" is analogous to "God forbid" - an expression. But if you think that a comma should be placed, it's OK, this wouldn't corrupt the general meaning...

Via, actually this is not a formal "prayer", it's one of Reinhold Niebuhr's famous quotes.
I'm sure this should be the correct punctuation.
I'll set a poll, but of course, it will soon be accepted and the points in your pocket
