Today Simply


Today, I will be like the light of the morning at sunrise, like the brightness after the rain. (2 Samuel 23:4)
Today, I trust in You with all my heart, leaning not on my own understanding. I acknowledge you, knowing you will direct my every step. (Proverbs 3:6)
Today, the voice of a stranger fades into background dribble as I hear my Shepherd's voice and follow. (John 10:4-5)
Today, world overcoming faith bubbles inside of me because I am born of God. For greater is He that is in me that is in the world. (1 John 4:4, 1 John 5:4-5)
Today, the peace of God rules in my heart and I refuse to worry. (Colossians 3:15)
Today, my eyes will remain focussed on the Word of God, life to me. I have found it and will never let it go. (Proverbs 4:21-22)
Today, I walk as a child of the light. Once surrounded by darkness, no longer lingering in the shadows. (Ephesians 5:8)
Tomorrow, no I live for this day and tackle tomorrow when it is my today. (Matthew 6:39)


1. To begin my countdown, thankful for simply today.

Welcome to the gratitude community! I have been blessed by your poem today. I am guilty of concentrating on tomorrow rather than being grateful for today and all that today brings.
thank you for the reminder.
