Way too often, Lord,
I'm so busy and distracted
or stuck in my past
or worried about tomorrow
that I miss
how you're moving in my life today,
I miss what you're doing in my life today,
I miss how you're acting in my life
-today-
and I miss all the new ways
you're caring for me
and calling me
to deeper trust in you...
Your love springs forth
but I don't see it,
I don't recognize it
I don't perceive it:
I miss it...
So, slow me down, Lord,
and get my attention:
rescue me from the past
and from my worry and fear of tomorrow:
open my eyes and my heart
to what you're doing in my life,
here and now
- today...
This is the day you've made, Lord,
this is the day I have,
the day I live,
the only day at hand:
in this day let me rejoice, Lord,
on this day let me at peace,
on this day help me
to see, to recognize, to perceive
and to accept
all the ways you're moving
in my life...
Amen.
