As we begin another week, faced with uncertainties, potential problems and difficulties -- I think it would be good for us to take a few moments every morning to meditate on the words of this little poem by Samuel Wilberforce:
"Lord -- for tomorrow and it's needs, I do not pray; Keep me from stain of sin -- just for to-day. Let me both diligently work and duly pray; Let me be kind in word and deed -- just for to-day. Let me be slow to do my will -- prompt to obey.
Help me to sacrifice myself -- just for today. Let me no wrong or idle word unthinking say; Set Thou a seal upon my lips -- just for to-day. So for tomorrow and its needs, I do not pray; But keep me, guide me, hold me, dear Lord -- just for to-day."
