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,
I miss
what you're doing in my life,
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,
get my attention
and rescue me from living in the past
and from my worries and fears of tomorrow:
open my eyes and my heart so I won't miss again
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
perceive, recognize, see and accept
all the ways you're moving in my life
today...
