We rush through life thinking ahead to a future time whether it's next hour or five years from now. I am determined to stay, as much as is possible, in the here and now. Until we are fully aware of who we are, where we are, what we are, we will never be who we are meant to be. It behooves each us to stay alert to our "nows," our minutes, seconds, and be fully present. One day at a time I can be, then I can become.

My Hope for Today
Psalm 27:1
[ A Psalm of David. ] The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm 27:1-3 NKJV
I don't know what this day holds, but I intend to let my Lord, My God, the God of my salvation lead. When I take the day back, I trust Him to nudge me back onto the path. This is my prayer for today:
"Lord, I offer myself to you ; to mold me, build me, use me as you want to.
Remove from me my selfishness, that I may better be of use to you and my fellowman.
Take away all stumbling blocks, my difficulties, that I can be a better witness to others of your power, your love, and your way of life. Take them away, every single one. I now give them to you. Grant me strength as I go about my day to do your will, not mine. Show me how I can be helpful to whomever I come into contact with today. In Christ's holy name, I ask these things and to God be the glory."
