It's asking God to grant you the core of what Stoics believe is required for eudaimonia / happiness, which is the ultimate goal of stoicism

The Serenity Prayer does assert belief in 1) a god 2) the son of god 3) a sinful world 4) that god is omnipotent and benevolent 5) eternal life 6) rebirth & heaven Seem like a LOT of baggage here, that is not part of stoicism.

I think it only asserts a belief in 1 and possibly 4. The rest are subjective interpretations. That's why I think it's a bridge to stoicism.
