When To Pray
Pray the Serenity Prayer during moments of worry, decision-making, or whenever you feel overwhelmed by circumstances beyond your control. It’s especially helpful at the start or end of the day, before important conversations, or alongside an examination of conscience. Many also use it during recovery work or times of transition to anchor their thoughts in God’s will.
