Strength for Today. Hope for Tomorrow.

I am given strength.  For today.  The ability to do and be what I need.  For today.  The troubles begin when I worry about what I'll need for.........you guessed it...TOMORROW.  Tomorrow hasn't even come and yet sometimes, in my mind, I have already rolled on to worrying about it.  To wondering if I'll have the strength, the ability.  I am not given that strength in advance.  BUT, I am given hope.  The hope fills me up.  It allows me to see how I have been provided for today....and know that there is no reason that I won't be tomorrow.
I have a unique situation in that I have hurt for years.  My body just experiences crushing pain.  Yet, through all of that....still...given what I need for each day.  I have no idea how that works.  I just know that it is given.  I feel so blessed.  And when I'm too tired to go on...then it's time not to.  Time to rest.  And I've had to learn that is ok too.  I am not required nor expected to do everything, do it all or make things happen.  I need to be led.  I need to be willing.  I need to be peaceful.  I need to lean.  And I don't need to make anything happen.
I have done much today.  Looking for what else I should do today.  It's exciting.
So many possibilities.  And no requirements.  Free to live.  Daily.  Exuberantly.  Daringly.
blessings.
