~SPIRITUAL NOT RELIGIOUS~ A DAY AT A TIME
5/11 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
Now that I know I can't use bottled courage, I seek and pray for 24-hour courage to change the things I can. Obviously, this isn't the kind of courage that will make me a strong and brave person for life, able to handle any and all situations courageously. Rather, what I need is a persistent and intelligent courage, continuing each day into the next one -- but doing today only what can be done today and avoiding all fear and worry with regard to the final result. WHAT DOES COURAGE MEAN TO ME TODAY?
TODAY I PRAY
May I tackle only those things which I have a chance of changing. And change must start with me, a day at a time. May I know that acceptance often is a form of courage. I pray not for super-bravery, but just for persistance to meet what life brings to me without being overcome by it.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Courage is meeting a day at a time.
