Just for Today

Lord for tomorrow and its needs,  I do not pray,

Keep me, my God from stain of sin, Just for today.

Now set a seal upon my lips,  For this I pray;

Keep me from wrong or idle words,   Just for today.

Let me be slow to do my will, Prompt to obey,

And keep me, guide me, use me, Lord, Just for today.

I got  this prayer or poem written anonymously  in an old  bookmark inserted in a second hand book I bought. The message, however, is firsthand from God, id est, fresh from God to me that day. When I was tempted to be anxious for tomorrow, God reminded me that I can ask enough grace -just for that day.

And I pray this poem will bless you – Just for today!
