Just for Today

Just for today (God willing each and every day), let me hold selfish ugliness at bay. Let me gladly humble myself to God and pray to be helpful and humble in every way. Let me use my mind to apply my intelligence with common sense. Let me be able to accept constructive criticism without taking on personal feelings of offense, like I’ve been unfairly called out, belittled, or lynched.

Just for today, let me push my pride aside to be able to follow and not always lead, if that is what will help me or others to achieve. Let me help any stranger in need do good deeds; help myself and others’ needs; plant humble, positive, Godly seeds. Let no man or woman be afraid, because with faith come brighter days. Let me bring peace, tranquil joy without fear. Speak the truth loud and clear. Put the divine words of God in every heart, mind, and ear.

Just for today, let me be able to shine without dulling someone else’s light. Let me smile if I can make someone’s day feel sunny and bright. Let me be a student of understanding and peace both day and night. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low.

The crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain in order to change what is wrong into right so the wings of justice can take flight.

Just for today, let me be able to heal; share a drink or a meal; not steal; be honest and real; always say what I feel; my purpose and part; never break hearts; be humble, caring, kind, intelligent, and smart; be able to finish what I start.

Just for today, let me never demand that others crawl, but stand tall; be there for others who feel weak and small.

Just for today, let me never just go along for the ride but always listen to the inner voice inside who fills me with hope and pride; who helps me to soar high and fly, touch the sky without clipping someone’s wings. Let me treat every woman or man like a queen or king. Look everyone in their eyes, never ever cheat, deceive, or lie. Let me never try but do or die (for the spirit will not be denied).

Let me gladly shake anyone’s hand and only see woman or man. Let me support the youth with wisdom, understanding, and truth. Let me look at a stranger and not feel danger but joy on their face without color, creed, religion or race but a fellow human saved by grace.

The loving feelings of God’s love and embrace should be felt everywhere and every place.
