Reflect
In the Book of Genesis, we read how Lot’s wife turned to look back at the life she was leaving instead of focusing on the path ahead. In an instant, she was transformed into a pillar of salt, frozen in time and unable to move forward. How often do we get so fixated on the past that we find ourselves stuck and unable to move into the present
Pray
Dear God, help me to keep my eyes on today,
not trapped in the mistakes
and misfortunes of my yesterdays.
You have already redeemed me.
You have forgiven my sins.
You have already helped through what has gone before,
and the past no longer exists.
All I have is this moment,
and this is where you meet me.
Amen.
Act
Spend a few intentional minutes concentrating on the present moment. Try not to reflect on what transpired earlier today and use your five senses to ground yourself in the “here and now.”
