Of everything I hope for in life, there is one goal that seems so easy, so natural, yet is somehow incredibly elusive.

Perhaps it is only a mirage. Perhaps it is just a remnant of my youthful optimism and sense of destiny.

“You must speak straight so that your words may go as sunlight into our
hearts.” (Cochise)

Come into my heart this morning. Allow me this day to live in the present moment.

Help me to see the beauty You have created in all things.

Let me know myself.

Today, as I make mistakes, let me see them as lessons.

Guide me.

When I see others make mistakes, let me honor them for where they are. Let me realize that they are Your children and only You, my Father, knows what is really going on.

When my lips move, let the words be Your words.

Allow me to have the courage to speak Your Truth.
