Just for Today
Just for Today
Just for today: Let us accept what is, and
try not to make it what we want it to be.
Just for today: Give us the strength
to accept change with equanimity
and good grace.
Just for today: Let us free ourselves
from tension and anxiety.
Let us not be afraid.
Let us enjoy all that is beautiful.
Just for today: Let us give love freely
and believe that we are loved in return.
Just for today: Let us find happiness
in giving rather than receiving.
Just for today: Let us be com-
passionate toward those with
whom we may not agree,
accepting them as they are
without criticism or censure.
Just for today: Let us direct our energies
into creative and constructive outlets.
Just for today: Let us have a quiet period.
Let our minds and hearts be at peace,
and let us take time to think of God.
