My mind has been future tripping a lot lately and all of it has to do with what I’ve been writing about just as much in here, and that’s my health. Having gone through long periods of chronic pain and suffering now for years, it’s been hard not to think about my future and what the state of my health will be next week, next month, next year, etc. But every time I do so, I’m reminded of a principle I learned the very first day I attended an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting and that’s to live “One Day At A Time”. That’s why I decided it was best for me to write the following prayer today, knowing it will help keep myself more focused on that important principle.
“Dear God, I keep struggling to stay in today. My mind seems to constantly drift off into incessant worries about the future and how my life is going to be in it. I know it’s not helping me on any level anytime I do this, but my fear continues to overpower me and lead me that way. Please God help me to stay more in the moment and more in the now, as I know in doing so, it will make life far more bearable. And please help me to remember each time my fear begins to overwhelm me, that You have the ultimate plan and that everything truly is going to be ok. Amen.”
Peace, love, light, and joy,
Andrew Arthur Dawson
