Pause for Prayer: THURSDAY 2/4

If I'd not worry about the future

and instead spend on today

all the time I waste 

in fretting 'bout tomorrow,

then...

I'd have more energy and mindfulness, 

focus and attention

to do what this day asks of me, 

nothing more and nothing less,

and then...

I'd waste less time

in grieving all my yesterdays,

rehearsing all my troubles

and things beyond my reach,
and so I pray...

Lord, help me keep it in today
and not in times long gone
nor in days still yet to come

but help me keep it in the moment,

help me keep it in the now...

 

This day's the one you've given me,

this day's the one you've made,
this day's the only one I have, Lord:
help me keep it in today! 

 

Amen.
