Daily Devotion - Friday, January 6

Toward a New Dawn

Friends,
2% of 2012 will be history at the end of the day. I trust that this prayer will help each of us to utilize the rest of the year wisely.

“Help me to let go of my preoccupations with the future.
Give me the strength to stop my futile attempts
To predict and control the future.
Let me see no value in my plan of what the future should be.
Rid me of my senseless questions about tomorrow
And of all my desires to exercise control of others.

“Remind me that my fears and uncertainties of tomorrow
are only related to my unfounded fear of You.

“Help me to be still; help me listen and love.

“Let me feel Your Freedom within me,
And let me laugh at the illusions that my ego
once made me feel were so real.
Let me be the Light; let me be joy; let me know that
I am
The reflection of You wherever I am,
And wherever I go."
