Just for today Lord

Just for today Lord

I will love through the next 12 hours and not try to tackle all of life’s problems at once.

I will improve my mind. I will learn something useful. I will learn something that requires effort, thought and concentration.

I will be agreeable. I will look my best, speak in a well-modulated voice, be courteous and considerate.

I will not find fault with friend, relative or colleague. I will not try to change or improve anyone by myself.

I will have a program. I might not follow it exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from two enemies….hurry and indecision.

I will do a good turn and keep it secret. If anyone finds out, it won’t count.

I will do two things I don’t want to do, just for the exercise.

I will believe in myself. I will give my best to the world and feel confident that the world will give it’s best to me.

I was given this bookmark by a man of God- when I felt all hope was gone. When I was questioning everything, and had not a clue of my life’s direction.

To lay back and breathe Him in. Rest in his shelter, in his arms, and in His love. If I seek him- his face. I shall find HIM. When I find HIM. I find strength
