Just For Today

Lord,for tomorrow and its needs,I do not pray;

Keep me,my God,from stain of sin just for today.

Let me both diligently work,and duly pray.

Let me be kind in word and deed,just for today.

Let me be slow to do my will,prompt to obey;

Help me to sacrifice myself just for today.

And if today my tide of life should ebb away,

Give me thy blessings divine,sweet Lord today,

So for tomorrow and its needs I do not pray,

But keep me,guide me,love me,Lord,just for today.

(from the Traditional St Augustine's Prayer Book).
