A Stoic's Prayer

Logos, give me grace to accept with serenity

the things that cannot be changed,

Courage to change the things

which should be changed,

and Wisdom to know the difference

Living one day at a time,

Enjoying one moment at a time,

Accepting hardship as a pathway to virtue,

Taking, as the Stoics did,

This ephemeral world as it is,

Not as I would have it,

Trusting that by nature all things are as they should be,

If I surrender to reason,

So that I may be appreciative of this life,

And fearless in the face of death.

What's the point of existence?

You only exist for this one moment. The past and future don't exist for you. Your body and brain will exist at other times (slightly altered), but those are different instances of consciousness, not you. All “you” are is the specific sense of self that you are feeling at this moment.

It will be an eternally true fact of the universe that you exist at this place and this time. So reflect on and appreciate your peaceful eternal now.
