Thoughts of the past can not hurt you without your consent. Lord, help me to learn from my past, not live there by continually bringing it into the present.
Often times it is the small things that make the biggest difference and leave the most permanent impact. Lord, help me to cease being so busy that I ignore opportunities to get or give a hug, participate in a little conversation or share a kindness.
The more frantic we feel on the inside, the more compulsive we try to organize the outside. Lord, help me bring peace and order to my inner spirit by letting go of the past, bring resolution to the issues that are pressing and making a commitment to enjoy my life right now.
