PRAYER TO LIVE JUST FOR TODAY DURING THE PANDEMIC
Friday March 27, 2020
God invites us to live today well. We all want to know what will happen in the next days and weeks. Will the number of infections rise quickly or in a manageable way? Will the social distancing measures we are all seeking to practice make a difference and bend or flatten the curve of new infections. Whatever happens with the spread of the covid-19 virus in the next days or weeks, God alone knows. We all need to do our part to slow the spread and to take care of one another during this time. But, over and over again in the Bible we are encourages us to fix our thoughts and efforts on today and leave the rest with God, under His care.
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. Romans 12:2 NLT
Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Philippians 4:8b NLT
JUST FOR TODAY
Just for today I will try to live in conscious contact with God praying only for knowledge of His will and the power to carry it out.
Just for today I will strengthen my mind. I will take a few minutes to read and meditate on God’s word, seeking God’s perspective for my life today. I will take note of one helpful thing God is saying to me and seek to behave accordingly.
Just for today I will be joyful, optimistic, and grateful. I will take time to notice the gifts in me, in others, and in my surroundings and let the rest go.
Just for today I will adjust myself to what is and not try to adjust everything else to my desires. I will trust that God is working all things for good in my life.
Just for today I will be agreeable. I will not criticize, not find fault, and not try to improve or control anybody except myself. I will pray blessing on one person with whom I struggle to relate.
Just for today I will have a quiet half hour all by myself to relax and enjoy all that God is giving me.
Just for today I will be unafraid, believing that as I trust in God
with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding, He will lead me along a good path.
Just for today I will seek to serve others with kindness, doing what is right, and walking humbly with God.
