He is working right now!

As sure as I am that I'm sitting here suddenly feeling better about my situation of life, I am sure that God is working right now on my behalf. What is He doing that prompted this announcement? He is doing what He does countless times per day, I'm just taking the time out right now to appreciate Him for it and to really enjoy the feeling that God cares for me in a hands-on way.

He's making my best good enough. Today my best is not anywhere close to what I would like it to be, but He's empowering me to do what I can and making up the difference. Holding my hand, calming my fears, and right-sizing my maginfying mind through it all.

Thank You, God. Thank You for caring for me in a tangible, personal way. Thank You for being Everything I need all the time.

The present is a gift.

When I'm in the present -- really paying attention to the here and now -- I have fewer worries. Because managing my worries is something I struggle with at times, I should show up for my life more often. Instead of making feeble attempts at warding off those pesky anxieties with unhealthy distractions, I could ask God to help me experience my life as it happens.

God, please help me to focus on the moment, realizing fully that each one is a gift from You and that for each one You have a perfect purpose in mind for me. Help me see, hear, touch, taste and even smell my life as it's happening so that I can be of the greatest good to those around me. I love You. Thank You. In Jesus' Name, amen.
