I pray to stay in this day – 
physically, emotionally, and spiritually. 
I pray Your guidance, God, 
for my body, mind, and soul, 
so that I may be of service 
to You and my fellows
in every moment of the day. 
When my mind wanders off into the past 
in order to tempt me with self-pity or self-hatred,
or when it wanders into the future 
to tempt me with prideful thoughts of being someone greater than I am,
I pray, God, that You will hold me close in the moment, 
so that I may remember 
it is in the now
that I know You 
and 
experience Your presence. 
In those moments, God, 
bless me with a complete surrender to You and Your will 
so that I may experience Your peace all throughout this day.
Amen.
