The Prayer for Today

Just for today, help me, God, to remember that my life is a gift, that my health is a blessing, that this new day is filled with awesome potential, that I have the capacity to bring something wholly new and unique and good into this world.

Just for today, help me, God, to remember to be kind and patient to the people who love me, and to those who work with me too. Teach me to see all the beauty that I so often ignore, and to listen to the silent longing of my own soul.

Just for today, help me, God, to remember You.

Let this be a good day, God, full of joy and love.

Amen

God,

I know You accept me as I am.

You love me as me. You call me to be me.

The things I have, the abilities I have, the strengths I have, are mine.

I am grateful for my family and friends that know me and receive me.

I pray and ask You to help me change the things that I can.

Amen.
