The Lenten Journey Day 29

“ ‘This, then, is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭9‬-‭13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Dear God,

Thank You for providing daily bread. Help me not to worry about tomorrow and focus only on the present. The Israelites were punished with moldy maggoty manna when they gathered more than they needed for the day. Help me to take each day as it comes – not punishing myself for yesterday and not worrying about what will happen in the future. If I do either of these, I will miss the blessings of today that are found on the paths where You guide me. Today, You have provided me with food, water, and shelter. I have a car that I can drive that even has gas in it. I feel richly blessed. Thank You for Your love and provision. Today, I choose to serve You and place You above all else in my life. You alone know the plans for my life and the direction I should go. If You lead me, I will follow You. Thank You for the blessings of today. Amen
