Only For Today...

 

Phil.4:4-7
Rejoice in the Lord always.
 I will say it again: Rejoice! 
5Let your gentleness be evident to all.
 The Lord is near.
 6Do not be anxious about anything, 
but in every situation,
 by prayer and petition, 
with thanksgiving, 
present your requests to God. 
7And the peace of God, 
which transcends all understanding, 
will guard your hearts and your minds
 in Christ Jesus.

A little doodle to begin a new week of looking up...

Not for tomorrow’s load of care
But only for today
I lift to Thee a simple prayer
To be my Strength and Stay

Not for tomorrow’s want and need
Do I pour out my heart
But only for today I plead
‘Lord, help me do my part’

Not for tomorrow’s battle-cry
Nor morrow’s misery
But only for today, supply
Mercy’s kind courtesy

Not for tomorrow’s come-what-may
Do I beseech Thy grace
Dear Lord, but only for today
Be sorrow’s resting place

Lord, list'ner of love's humble prayer
In Jesus’ name I pray
Fit me, not for tomorrow’s care
But only for today

And, should courage and confidence
Falter, Lord, help me hear
Your whisper, like a thousand winds  
'Fear not, for I am near'

A song for your wondering pleasure!
