A Prayer for Monday, July 2, 2012

Now

O Lord,

We have lived the life that is behind us and we will live the life that is ahead of us.

Help us to trust you with the ongoing results of the life we have lived to this point and with your ongoing guidance in the life that we will beyond this point.

But help us most of all to live at this point, to live in the now, to live in this present moment, since it is the only part of our life in which we have the capability of acting, of choosing, and, when we get right down to it, of living.

Deliver us from regret over or nostalgia for the past and from anxiety about or longing for the future that would get in the way of our living fully in the present.

Amen.
