Just me trying to be honest with God.

“Control the things you can control.”

Accept with grace things beyond your control. This is a tough one for me at times, mainly because it is tough for me to control the things I can control--like my attitude about the things I can’t control. This is why we need grace for both. If we are finding it hard to change our attitude all at once, then we should at least nudge it in the right direction and keep nudging it until we have. Keep telling yourself not only that, it is what it is, but it is as God has allowed and His grace is sufficient for dealing with it.
