Is it permissible to say a portion of the Serenity prayer

I came across the following prayer titled the Serenity Prayer : 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. I originally found it in a Campus Bible Talks book to change negative thinking processes; it was written by Reinhold Niebuhr and I believe the original is longer. As a Muslim is it permissible to use this as a prayer when making a prayer to Allah Kareem, providing 'God' is replaced with 'Allah', I wasn't sure if it was permissible as the original prayer was written by a non-muslim.
