A saying we often hear in stormy life circumstances and recovery circles is "live one day at a time." In many meetings someone will read "Just for Today" – a list of positive actions that we may give focused attention to each day. When we pray the full version of the Serenity Prayer, we quickly come to a line that says, "living one day at time, enjoying one moment at a time." God's Word encourages us to daily surrender our will and our life into His care.
Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires. Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you. (Psalm 37:3-5 NLT)
More than anything else, put God’s work first and do what he wants. Then the other things will be yours as well. (Matthew 6:33 CEV)
Each day also has the possibility of bringing something into our lives that we personally cannot change. We need to come to terms with the limitations of our humanity. We are human beings confined within the slice of time we call today. God has promised to take care of all our yesterdays and tomorrows. We simply need to live one day at a time under God’s guidance and care. If we do this, we are assured that God will work all things together for our good, and according to His plan for our lives.Prayer: Thank you for the gift of this day. I choose to make your agenda my priority today. Help me to live one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time, trusting that You will make all things right as I surrender to Your will. Amen
