what shall come of my life, my future
what does each new day bring forth, what might I expect
what of each new week, new month, and new year
striving, seeking, waiting, wanting
yearning to know and yet unable to foresee
living today worrisome and unsure about the outcome of tomorrow
yet life is as a blink of the eye, a vapor that is here and then quickly gone
the future will come, tomorrow will join us and today shall be a yesterday gone
so I have determined that life is today
striving to accomplish that which has yet to come - might my striving become perseverance
seeking to control all that shall be - might my seeking be trust enabled by faith
waiting with overly anxious anticipation - might my anxious waiting longsuffering develop
wanting for sake of want - might my wanting contentedness become
for my life must be lived in today
honoring, uplifting, restoring
blessing and not usurping
a desire and a will for lovingkindness, faithfulness, truthfulness, grace and mercy
to be poured out from the broken vessel that I am
may this be my life now known
