Today I Will Live

I came across this poem or text from a book I’m reading. This experience has elevated my anxiousness and I need to find ways to deal with it before it clouds my life.

As such, I found this very helpful and calming, and I want to share it with you.

"Today, I will live today


Yesterday has passed


Tomorrow is not yet


I'm left with today


So, today, I will live today


Relive yesterday? No


I will learn from it


I will seek mercy for it


I will take joy in it


But I won't live in it


The sun has set on yesterday


The sun has yet to rise on tomorrow


Worry about the future? To what gain?


It deserves a glance, nothing more


I can't change tomorrow until tomorrow


Today, I will live today


I will face today's challenges with today's strength


I will dance today's waltz with today's music


I will celebrate today's opportunities with today's hope


Today"

This is from Max Lucado’s book “Anxious for Nothing” which I’ll review later and share my thoughts.

In the meantime, enjoy the poem. Read it a few times and you will see it makes sense to our situation.

We are heart warriors. We live and fight today and we cannot control what happens tomorrow.

today
