Grace For The Day

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 I think and speak and do.

So that for this one day, just this one day,

I have the gift of grace that comes from your presence.

Over the years I have learned a little about grace.  I have been on my knees many times.  Gratefully, most of my prayers have been answered as I had prayed for.  Some prayers were not, at least not as I had expected they would be.  Others were delayed until I thought my heart would break.  Still others were denied.  But never have I asked for just one day's portion of grace and not received it.

Grace is available to each of us every day, but we do have to ask for it living one day at a time and not worrying about tomorrow.  Tomorrow will be here soon enough and there will be plenty of grace to cover that day also.

One day at a time, with God's grace on my side.....I can do it!
