Dwell on Now

Dear Lord please be with us today and may the things that we try to do work out alright and for the best. Help us not to dwell on how things of the past might have been different if we had made different choices. Help us to think about now and what we can do to help ourselves and be productive in thought and action. Things in the past are done and over, and our future depends on now. Please help us to approach our "Now" with the right virtues controlling us. May we have the right priorities, values, attitudes, patience, understanding, wisdom, and compassion, be unselfish and humble and have empathy for others. As problems arise help us know that we can cope with all things as Jesus Christ strengthens us and if God is for us who can be against us. Thank you Dear Lord for all of the great gifts that you have given us, please forgive our sins. In Christ name we pray, amen.
