Before my first waking breath,
"Good morning, Lord!"
Before my feet first hit
the floor,
"Thank You for this day!"
Before opening my Bible,
"What Word have You for me
today?"
Before saying my daily prayer,
"Help me to pray for this day!"
Before all the usual: breakfast,
exercise, and shower,
"Lord, help me to first seek you
all day long in everything I do."*
Matthew 6:33
*Brother
Lawrence, a kitchen worker who
practiced living all his
day in God's
presence: "All we have to
do is to recog-
nize God as always being
intimately pres-
ent within us. Then we may
speak directly
to Him every time we need
to ask for help,
to know His will in moments
of uncertainty,
and to do whatever He wants
us to do in a
way that pleases Him." |
