"I didn't get enough sleep. I don't have enough time to get ready. There's not enough food to make breakfast and lunch." Three statements of fear in the first three minutes of morning consciousness.
You, being enough for us, listen to our worrisome phrases with patience and care. Would You lift up our eyes? Would You help us to dream about the day that is actually before us, instead of dreaming about what could be?
No matter how difficult, this is the day You have given. Teach us to receive it in all that it is. Thanks be to God, who gives of Himself and all that He is. There is no life in our fantasies of convenience. But You, the Christ, raise up life in and around us.
We taste Your goodness and live.
