A Prayer for Today’s Need By Kristine Brown “Give us today our daily bread.” - Matthew 6:11 NIV I remember the first day I stepped outside to feel the warm sun on my face after being stuck inside the house for so long. I’d endured chemotherapy and radiation treatments, forcing me to stay indoors in the cold winter months and avoid any prolonged sun exposure, as well. That’s why this special day outdoors felt heavenly. Taking a stroll around the backyard had always been one of my favorite things, but I never realized how much I would appreciate waddling out in my bathrobe and slippers and turning my face toward the sun. I still had a long way to go toward healing, but that day gave me hope. When treatments began, I saw this mountainous obstacle before me. I couldn’t fathom reaching the end. It seemed too big, too scary, and too impossible. So, I had to ask God each day for the strength I needed for that day. Then the next, then the next. By focusing only on what I needed for one day, I found peace for what was to come. |
