I had the privilege as a trustee director of the Leprosy Mission of interviewing eleven candidates for the National Director’s job last week. At the end of each interview, one of our panel, a Quaker by background, prayed. This is how she started each prayer:
“Dear Lord. Heavenly Father. We thank you for today. This good day…..”
What a beautiful way of praying. ‘This good day’. After eleven times, I really got into this prayer. It meant so much.
We can choose how we manage our day. We can decide it’s an average day if we want. We can be forever looking to the future and awaiting the next big thing. We can look with fear on a particular meeting or job requirement. Or we can declare at the beginning of the day that this is a good day.
Lord I thank you for this good day.
