About This Quote
In this quote from the Serenity Prayer , God is speaking to us from within. There is nothing more important than the things that surround you in life. In order to be successful, we must choose our friends wisely and ensure that they are around us day in and day out. We must choose our family carefully and surround ourselves with people who will support us.
Our friends must be our support system, our family, and in turn they must be a support system for our family. And when we have chosen our friends wisely, God speaks to us from within the silent message of love each time they are there for us when we need them most.
