211 - For Each Day

Sometimes, when I look at “the big picture,” my life seems pretty scary. All of us wonder about the end of our lives, but putting a name, a disease, a condition on it, brings it more clearly into focus. So I try to step back from my imagination of dire predictions and instead look at the hidden bounty of the present.

Two Hundred Eleven

For Each Day

Day by day I will praise You,
Singing the comfort of small things;
Each day is a universe,
A complete creation, fashioned by Your hand.

Designing One, You know my future,
Tying it around Your finger
As a keen reminder of Your plan.
Sustain me with the courage to trust.

Help me to embrace each moment,
Drawing back from anxiety’s thorns;
Release me to the peace of now,
Content, made whole by Your care.
