Just for Today

Just for today I'll make friends with the pain
I won't run away, I'll just let it rain
And I'll feel, I'll be real
Let the tears fall where they may
Just for today

Just for today I'll surrender this longing
To take what I want when it's not what I need
Let it go, bare my soul
I'm letting go of the reins
Just for today

Tomorrow is too much to bear
And yesterday's what brought me here
Learning to live in this moment
Safe in God's hands

Just for today I'll step up to the plate
I won't run away, look myself in the face
Let God in, start again
I'm willing to do it His way
Let the tears fall where they may
Just for today

I sang this at a 12-step meeting last Saturday. I played guitar. It wasn't perfect. But it's ok. Living in the moment is so much less stressful than zooming out and focusing on the master plan. Because we never have the master plan. God has the puzzle box, and we have a few pieces. Play your piece. And pray for peace.
