Thursday prayer

Dear God, I spend so much time
reliving yesterday or anticipating tomorrow
that I lose sight of the only time that is really mine - the present moment.
You give me today one moment at a time.
That's all I have - all I ever will have.

Give me the faith which knows that each moment
contains exactly what is best for me.
Give me the hope which trusts you enough
to forget past failings and future trials.
Give me the love which makes each moment
an anticipation of eternity with you.
We ask this in the name of Jesus
who is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Amen.

We are getting sick again -- both kids at home with runny awful noses, coughs, upset tummies. And I feel sore and awful, too.

I ask for prayers for the family unit as a whole!
