A version of the Serenity prayer appearing on an Alcoholics Anonymous medallion (date unknown).. The Serenity Prayer is an invocation by the petitioner for wisdom to understand the difference between circumstances ("things") that can and cannot be changed, asking courage to take action in the case of the former, and serenity to accept in the case of the latter.
The first song on the album, "Feel So Different", starts with The Serenity Prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr. The album also includes O'Connor's rendition of " I Am Stretched on Your Grave ", an anonymous 17th-century poem that was written in Irish, translated into English by Frank O'Connor , and composed by musician Philip King in 1979.

Shapiro, who had cast doubts on Niebuhr's claim of authorship, conceded in 2009 that, "The new evidence does not prove that Reinhold Niebuhr wrote [the prayer], but it does significantly improve the likelihood that he was the originator."
In her book entitled "The Serenity Prayer," the daughter of Reinhold Niebuhr, Elisabeth Sifton, gives the prayer verbiage that she says is the first version. "God grant me the grace to accept with serenity those things which I cannot change," prayer continues similarly, with the last line saying to help me to "know the one from the other."
