Staying In The Present

Normandy Beach Graves

When something upsetting happens, old memories of previous hurts often come back to haunt me.
This makes it difficult to stay in the present and I start living simultaneously in the past and the future.
The outcomes of the past get projected onto present and future situations.
I become trapped in hopelessness and find it difficult to make healthy decisions.
(Hope For Today, 6 June)

Lord, help me to rejoice in the time I have with my family today.
I don't want to dwell on what might happen in the future;
I want to relish this chance to nurture and cherish the blessings You've given me. Amen.

Dear Lord, You have given me so many blessings, starting with my family. I will keep joy in my heart as I thank You, Lord, for every single blessing You've given me. Amen.

Thank You For My Genes

Father, thank you for my genes and for the family that carried them and gifted them to me. Bless me to appreciate all of my attributes, knowing that while sometimes I think I would rather be like somebody else, I know that I am blessed with all that is perfect for me. Bless me to be the very best I can be in all my circumstances. (Embraced by the Light, Betty J. Eadie, 26 January)
