Lord, You give me today


one minute at a time.


That's all I have, all I ever will have.


Give me the faith


that believes each moment


asks me to trust You even as You trust me.


Give me the hope


that holds within each minute


despite pain or doubt or fear


an anticipation of eternity with You.


Give me the love


that transforms each minute of my life


into a reflection of


Your forgiveness, mercy and goodness.


Amen
