This Moment

Gracious Father God, how wonderful it is to have a new day, fresh and clear of yesterday's mistakes and not clouded with tomorrow.  Help me not to drag yesterday into today, or cloud it over with a day I don't even know if I'll see. Let me leave behind hurt feelings, and embrace forgiveness.  Forgive my falling to temptation and, by Your Spirit's grace, enable me to stand stronger today. Keep me focused on You and what is, not worried about what may never be.  THIS is the moment I am given.  Help me to live it, Lord!  Don't let me throw it away, mire it in the past or not even notice it's here. For Your love's sake and basked in Your glory, now - Amen!
