Now

Now

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18; NIV).

Father,
The past is done,
And only you
Know how much time
I have left here.

So I want to thank you
For this present moment,
Because every now
Is a fresh chance 
to serve you.

Please help me to rejoice
And pray continually,
Thanking you
In all circumstances.

May I always be ready
To step forward,
Offering others
Love and service,
For the sake of your dear Son.

I ask this in his precious name,
Amen.
