Today’s Reflection:  Prayer

Today, Lord, I choose to believe in you
    – not to try to go it alone –
            but to believe in your loving care for me…

 Today, Lord, I choose to trust in you
    – not to stress out in fear and panic –
            but to trust that you’re always right by my side…

 Today, Lord, I choose to live by your Word
    – not by my whims and fancies –
            but by the wisdom and truth of your Word…

Today, Lord, I choose to walk your path
    – following your map and not my own –

 ’til I find you within me as well as beside me… —Fr. Austin Fleming, excerpt from “Today I Choose”
