THE CURTAIN RISES

Nightfall is like a stage curtain’s drop on the last scene of a play. With daybreak the curtain rises on what is now. The audience must remember but not dwell on the last. Attention must be given to what is unfolding now. I usually let each day begin fresh, but already I realize that I am still dwelling on some of yesterday's concerns. This will not do. Anxiety about the past or the future can obstruct valuable moves forward and neutralize God's daily whisperings. Blessed Father, I must hear from You today. Forgive my moments of worry as I now cast my cares upon You. I will listen for your directions.
