MY SUBSCRIPTION FOR WORRYING

I'm starting to figure out why I'm worrying!  It's usually when I'm dwelling to much on the future and inventing how it's going to go in my head!  Focusing on just today will give me the energy I need to accomplish just today's tasks and will create the future of my good dreams and not the nightmare I imagine when I worry!

Just for today

Oh God, give me grace for this day,
Not for a lifetime,
Nor for next week,
Nor for tomorrow,
Just for this day.

Direct my thoughts and bless them.
Direct my work and bless it.
Direct the things I say and give them blessing, too.
Direct and bless everything that I think and speak and do.

So that for this one day,
I have the gift of grace that comes from your presence.
