The following famous prayer about change may be 14th century but is commonly attributed to Reinhold Niebuhr. It has been associated with Alcoholics Anonymous and also modified for those who do not believe in God:

"God grant me
the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference."

Attributed to Reinhold Niebuhr (1982-1971, theologian, pastor)
