Serenity Prayer: Wisdom to know the Difference

Serenity Prayer: Wisdom to know the Difference Emmalee Powell 27" x 27" Framed Original Oil Painting 2018 Oil and mixed media

Part of the series, "Where is Jesus in this mess?" Touch and see for yourself. "God grant me serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I  can, and wisdom to know the difference," Reinhold Neibuhr. I plead for wisdom to know (and accept) what I can and can't control. It's very hard for me to be present, I'm usually anxious about the future or worrying about the past. My journey in coming unto Christ includes learning to let go of control. One way I let go of control is through making this messy art using my left hand and no paint brushes.
