Your Attention Please

This is the time of year when paying attention becomes especially important. Everything around us is transforming in some way. With so many things competing for our time, it is hard to find moments of pause to think about how today is different from yesterday.  How today may be different than tomorrow. It is hard to reflect on only what is here and now. The grace given to us by God right where we are. How we strive to remember and do as the Lord said, to let the day’s trouble be enough for the day.

Sharing a prayer to ask for God’s blessings on the day at hand.

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, just this one day, I have the gift of grace that comes from your presence…

Amen
