The prayer is reliably reported to have been in use in Alcoholics Anonymous since the early 1940s. It has also been used in Narcotics Anonymous and other Twelve-step programs. The Alcoholics Anonymous version omits some of Niebuhr's text:
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
The story of the prayer and its misattributions is told in Elisabeth Sifton, The Serenity Prayer (2003)
Expanded versions of the prayer, written in the late 20th century, have been widely distributed (see External Links below).
ALSO:
Elisabeth Sifton's book The Serenity Prayer (2003) quotes this version as the authentic original:
God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things that should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.
The earliest verifiable printed texts so far discovered are an approximate (apparently remembered) version in a query in the "Queries and Answers" column in The New York Times Book Review, July 12, 1942, p. 23, which asks for the author of the quotation; and an answer to in the same column, in the issue for August 2, 1942, p. 19, where the quotation is attributed to Niebuhr and an unidentified earlier printed text is quoted as follows:
O God and Heavenly Father,
Grant to us the serenity of mind to accept that which cannot be changed; the courage to change that which can be changed, and the wisdom to know the one from the other, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
That's the only version I know.

the priority I see with each and every of the translations is they only say, "Deus" for the note God. although, even as praying in Latin, God is often said as the "Lord," for which the Latin note is "Dominus." even more desirable substantial, because you're calling to the Lord, you do not use the nominative case (concern) yet quite the vocative (calling or talking to), so the note must be "Domine" (stated DOUGH-mee-nay).
